I've been staying at this hotel yearly for about the past 6 years since it was the Excel Inn, they always try to make my stay as pleasant as possible. The hotel is neat and clean.
Very convenient location, great price, cooperative staff.
Back door near our room was never locked, even though signage states that it will be locked at night for safety.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?
Former visitors to this inn said it offers great value for the money. There is better accommodation nearby but it will cost considerably more than staying at this Exel Inn. There is also other budget accommodation nearby but no as clean and well maintained as this property. Minor gripes: No premium cable channels and no elevator. This is a two storey inn.
