Hotel is reasonably priced on game weekends. The room was adequate, although it felt musty. The bathrooms need some upgrading. That being said when you are in town and need a reasonably priced place to stay, this will work. And the staff was very helpful.

It’s an older property but the price was right and the night auditor has been there forever and he’s super nice and helpful. There’s a Dairy Queen and several restaurants nearby. The DQ is within walking distance.
