Guests frequently highlight the spacious and clean rooms, some featuring a refrigerator, microwave, coffee/tea maker, and even multiple queen beds. The hotel's location is a definite plus, with a short, approximately 10-minute walk into the town center for shopping and dining, while still offering a fairly quiet setting; some have mentioned the rooms feeling a bit impersonal or the lighting being less cozy. On-site conveniences include free parking, and options for enjoying bar snacks and desserts. The bathrooms often come equipped with a good power shower.
