We have no complaints. The hotel is in the middle of town with numerous places to eat, things to do, and even the Corner Market grocery store. It is only a couple of blocks from Bus Stop #6. Our room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast was wonderful, and the front desk staff were very nice and helpful.

A great stay! Comfy beds, good staff, close to things, only drawback is you're right in the center of the nightlife area so you can expect to hear music and drunkenness and random yelling late into the evening.
