It was an average stay, the place was not extremely anything. Central to the town, close to many things, the lady who checked us in was nice. Older place.

The staff was helpful and friendly. Being here during Bike Week can cause a certain level of stress for staff. The young lady who checked us in was calm and courteous each time we walked past the front desk.

They could use a bigger parking lot. There was only one handicap spot and no lines by it for a wheelchair to get out. Other than that, we had a great stay. Comfy beds! Friendly staff.

Very good place in a warm little town.

We knew this hotel for previous stays. Very good, but the gym is still minimum, not worthy, and even one machine (of two) is broken. And the pool is not any more, despite it figures in the propaganda. The breakfast is good, the beds are nice and the employees are EXTRA kind.
