"While it’s nice to not have to pay for parking, it’s definitely a budget hotel, which helps make for perks like free parking and such. Conveniently located within walking of a handful of restaurants, also a perk. Lastly, very close to the highway - also awesome. I should add that the mattress and pillows were comfortable - always important!"
