We were in town for one night to see a show. Our room was comfortable and clean. The bed was very comfortable and the rate was reasonable. The hotel was easy to locate and it was only a few minutes from the venue.

I had a very delightful stay and the price was $70 less than the recommended lodging for my visit. Highly recommend. Particularly enjoyed the free breakfast, since they had turkey sausage and I am allergic to all mammal meat. Staff was delightful.

Will come back again.

This hotel was not only convenient to visiting the Johnston surrender site, it also had the very best breakfast on our trip, with plenty of protein, fruit, juices, and even cinnamon buns. The beds were comfortable and the room was quiet.
