The location was great. It was right in the town center. The room was clean and the shower was really good. The manager was friendly and helpful too.
The noise bothered me at night. Staff moved tables late and I could hear it. Kegs rolled around early in the morning, which woke me up.

The location was fantastic for exploring! i found the room recently renovated, with a great shower, a real plus after a day of hiking. the breakfast was a real treat. Everything tasted fresh, i thought. i liked that i got good recommendations for dinner upon my late arrival.
The hotel felt slightly dated in some areas. I think some modernization would enhance the experience.

The location was great. I parked in the large parking lot steps from the hotel. The live music from across the way added to the atmosphere (it stopped at 11pm, a plus).
The fan provided in the room during a heatwave proved ineffective.
