"the staff was great and provided us with recommendations on where to eat and places to park. the location was very nice as it seemed to be in the center of town and it was right next to a grocery store. the hotel did not offer breakfast but there were plenty of options to choose from that were within 1-3 mins of walking. the only thing that could have been better was more convenient parking. if you were lucky you could park in the front otherwise you'd have to drive around to find parking. the town is very walkable so even if you had to park away from the hotel it was a quick walk back."
