This location is walkable to the downtown area for food and shipping. Parking is right outside. The staff were very friendly. My only complaint would be that my window did not lock. I had a pleasant stay at the hotel.

Our view was the garbage area so a balcony would have been nicer. The location was wonderful. Walking distance to everything. Having the frig on a stand instead off the floor would have been nice. Rooms are very clean and very noisy. Cement floors through out means there isn't a buffer for the noise. Slamming doors are heard at all hours.
