No real issues with the hotel as far as a place to stay, but I was hoping to get more work done while there but the wi-fi wasn't good. I'd say if you are on a working vacation (as I was trying to do), it might not be the best place.

We were pleasantly surprised to get into town and see vacant. It’s next to a dining establishment/bar that plays live music. But stops at a reasonable hour. We didn’t mind at all!!
