Great location with easy access and parking. Comfortable room and bed. Only downfall is not having a table in the room. Since I was on business I needed a table to set my laptop and work. Plus for eating too. Had to use the bed for work desk and dining.

Nice visit
The owner was very nice and helped me find some more quirky things to find (the pelicans). They have renovated it so the google image is very old photo. The only thing i would suggest is a small table or ironing board so can play cards/games.

Very friendly management. Room was upgraded nicely. Only slight negative was using the TV. It was an internet-type, which made it difficult to find local news programs.
