Returning customer, I really liked the first experience so I had to come back. Again super clean, staff was awesome and helpful. My only complaint is parking. Other than that it’s a great stay they provided everything I needed towels, soap, shampo, conditioner and offered great recommendations.

Grandi by Center Hotels
A very nice hotel. Loved the spot access downstairs for guests. It was nice to hot tub and relaxed down there for a little while. The rooms were comfortable and it is very convenient location to walk to the cute downtown. Have to find parking on the road, which is the only challenge.
