"Friendly and professional."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
From the time I checked in everyone was friendly and very attentive. I particularly enjoyed my dinner and drink at the bar restaurant. I have stayed here before and the cook was the same. She really does an awesome job and the bartender/waitress was great at keeping up with what I needed. Cudos to all the staff.

"$4 parking crazy have to walk a block to get to the entrance."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
No breakfast, no drink coupons. Drury up the road gives that free. Guess thats why they were booked full two days ago.

"Review"
Overall Score3.0/ 5
Unfortunately, I was at this hotel during Christmas. My room coffee did not work and could not get a replacement for two days. No kleenex in room. I was led to believe that there was a free breakfast. Of course on the holiday there was nothing and then when it did open, there was a charge of $17 which I did not get. That was bad, so I ended up getting food on the holidays at a convenience store as everything else in town was closed.
