The location of this hotel is great, easy access to the freeway, walking distance to old town, restaurants and bar. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We didn’t have breakfast because maybe I didn’t select the option. The sawmill is very close and we had plants of choices there. I would stay here again.
