The hotel was clean , quiet, had a 75 inch tv in the room with full direct tv. The hotel was right on main st. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Next time I get up this way I would definitely stay here. It was $70 less than the best western that was less than a 1/4 mile away. Awesome hotel!!!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had stayed here last year and it was in much better condition than now. The ice machine was not working, there was a half inch gap between the door and the door jam from the lock down, the restaurant was closed but it looked like they were trying to open again, there was what looked like dry rot on the door jam going into the bathroom, there was only one person at the front desk but was mia ex (left to get ice to put in the ice machine). The positive was the bed was clean and comfortable. Parking was good.

Rooms are clean and quiet, if you are looking for the Ritz, this is not it. If you are looking for a nice place to stay in Bandara for a reasonable price, this is your place. I have stayed several times and have had great experiences all of those times.
