This hotel is very convenient for access to Old Town. We have stayed here for several years and have never been disappointed. The staff is very friendly and engaging.

The location of this hotel is great, easy access to the freeway, walking distance to old town, restaurants and bar. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We didn’t have breakfast because maybe I didn’t select the option. The sawmill is very close and we had plants of choices there. I would stay here again.

We stayed three nights in October and found the room clean, quiet and comfortable. We liked the outdoor pool and utilized the patio table and chairs in the evening when we felt like sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather. After walking to and from Old Town area from hotel we found they had a free shuttle service to Old Town which we used and it was great. We decided to try the hotel breakfast our second day and it was surprisingly very good, so we ate in the restaurant two more times and the meals were all good, well priced and the waitstaff was excellent.

I had a very clean and comfortable room, but needed more free outlets, as they were used for lamps, etc. One has many devices these days. The front desk staff were cheery and helpful. Also the van driver to the airport was very nice and delightful.
