Staff was very friendly, room was clean, and comfortable. The hotel had recently had a fire, so some things were down for repair, but didn't effect our stay. Hotel was within walking distance to the center of town, and there is a free shuttle bus that ran every 20-30 minutes that drops off right in front of the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
