We had a great stay at the Western Hotel! The room was comfortable and surprisingly spacious for the price. It’s about a 10-minute walk to the city center, which was perfect—close enough to everything but still quiet at night. Breakfast had a solid variety of options, and every staff member we interacted with was warm and helpful. Would definitely stay again!

Easy to find the property and parking was very easy. From the directions, it sounded like parking was down the road. We were pleasantly surprised parking was really just under the building and there was an elevator right up into the hotel! We really enjoyed the music in the bar in the evenings! Wish food was available a bit later, but we understand that is rare. We were surprised the room did not have a refrigerator. It was a bit of an inconvenience but not major.
