It was a pleasant surprise that the pool is covered and could be used in the spring. Staff were very accommodating. Walking distance to the plaza and many bars/restaurants. Free parking is a bonus. Hotel feels a bit dated, though it’s very clean. Location close to I-40 means rooms can get noisy. Overall, a great budget-ish option.
