friendly staff good food options free parking small room small bed restaurant closure

The staff was super friendly and always ready to assist. Breakfast and dinner both had good food options. It was only a short walk into the heart of the city. I was able to enjoy a different meal each night. The menu offered a wide range of choices. Free parking was a definite bonus

My room was a bit too small for two people. The bed was also too small for two people. The restaurant closed one evening. Other dining options were too far to walk.
