"Convenient Location"

This hotel has a lot going for it. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly. The free breakfast includes many different selections. My reason for only rating it a four is because the beds are super soft. There is no firmness to the mattress. It is okay for the one night we stayed, but if I had to sleep on it longer, I would be afraid I'd end up with a sore back.
