Clean big room
At first, I wasn't thtilled to have to check-in at the hitel next door but once I saw the large, clean snd obvioudly fresly renovated room, I was happy with my choice. Located jyst at the edge of the busy town center, this hotel is perfectly located for peace and quiet while not to far from the action. I enjoyed my stay.

Front desk is next door at another hotel. For the price of the room per night definitely not a fan of the setup. Location is good and easy walk into the heart of the activity area of town.

Even the TV signal was intermittent
No wardrobe
Positives: Spotlessly clean. Great location. Free parking. Jolee on check in was very helpful with local info and restaurants.

Would stay again!
Had to check in at the hotel next to the Red Carpet Inn, so that took a little extra time. Parking is limited and we had a fairly noisy person above us in the evening. Otherwise, everything was very clean, the room was spacious and overall we were happy with everything.
