This is the second time that I’ve stayed here. It is dog friendly and very easy to walk to everything downtown. The rooms are very nice and remodeled. And they have free warm cookies! I will definitely keep going there in the future.

Very dog friendly, which we appreciate. The front desk is helpful. Great location. Easy check in and out. We would have liked some cups in the room and a chair to sit in.
