Eureka Inn, Trademark Collection by Wyndham
The room was nice and clean. The shower was in need of a deep clean, but was usable. It was centrally located to downtown and made walking a breeze. I wish the bar or restaurant were open. We missed those, but the breakfast was good with different options.
