The staff here are very helpful and friendly. We appreciated the close proximity to the Plaza where we shopped and dined. It was also super easy to bring our two small dogs and walk them when needed. Our room was okay. The hotel room definitely needed a bit of updating and the carpet could use cleaning. All in all we really enjoyed our stay as it was affordable and convenient for our weekend stay.
