The hotel is ideally located just a block off the main street, offering a peaceful atmosphere while still being close to restaurants. The rooms, although slightly smaller, feature a convenient kitchenette without some basics like plates and cutlery. The service is excellent, with staff eager to please and accommodate late arrivals. However, the dining options are limited, featuring a daily hot specialty. The facilities are well-prepared and cater to the needs of guests.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although lacking in comfort and size, were impressively clean and quiet for a good night's sleep. The service was top-notch, with very accommodating and knowledgeable staff. The location offered an ideal setting for exploring the downtown area and enjoying various complimentary amenities. However, the dining experience, while efficient and quick, had limited options, and the facilities could use some improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a lot of old western movie memorabilia, and I loved the annex location that provided easy access to the lovely side courtyard. The staff was exceptionally helpful and took great care of us, despite a small hiccup in room location initially. The location was perfect, allowing us to park our car for the entire trip and easily walk to downtown restaurants and shops. The dining experience across the street was amazing, with both continental and full options available.
