The hotel was fine but the neighborhood is terrible. I pulled in late and found a person parked in the lot trying to get my attention by saying violent murmurs. So strange how you can find drunk people walking around on the street in front at any hour. The majority of non chain restaurants are cash only. All pointing to a different town for me on my next trip.
