The Domain Hotel
Affordable, clean, cute, and quiet. Great price for the area - I was a little skeptical based on the price but it was really nice. Also really liked the parking situation - well lit, clean, easy to navigate. I arrived late and left early so may not have a full feel for what it’s like staying there ...

Staff was wonderful, shuttle very convenient, bed very comfortable, no coffee maker, just a pod thing, no microwave. Wanted to reheat my dinner leftovers and couldn't, also Pod coffeemaker was filthy, sticky and gross.
