What’s not to enjoy. Can’t beat the location. Available free parking to the left of the church is super convenient and safe. First come first serve basis. They will ticket you if you don’t follow the rules. I would certainly recommend this hotel! Quality breakfast buffet was great too! Staff was friendly and professional. Thank you for a memorable stay!
