Friendly staff and clean spacious rooms!

Very clean and accommodating hotel. Ample parking. Spacious rooms. They require you to pay for breakfast. This could be a reason for some not to select this location, as most hotels near by offer the exact same options, and more, free of charge. Very friendly staff!
