I enjoyed my stay very much. Three key areas are what will keep me coming back to a hotel. 1. Location- the location of this hotel was perfect for my stay. 2. Cleanliness- this hotel places an emphasis on being clean. Love it! 3. Comfort- the beds and pillows are incredibly comfortable relative to other hotels at which Ive stayed for business or pleasure. The breakfast was good, there are restaurants and shopping nearby, and there is a small pool and jacuzzi that rounds out the experience. ❤️

The hotel was good lots of room. The breakfast was great. The pool needs repair and when we went down to the pool there was loud music blaring, a dog and drunk people down there making food using a mask shift stove. Not very family friendly.

Fantastic breakfast!! Nice lobby and rooms, hallways felt very dated and kind of dingy. Updating the hallways would go very far. Doesn’t impact your stay, just the feel of the hotel. If your room is close to the highway you will hear it at night.

Our experience was great! Breakfast was really Good and attendants were super helpful. Only complaint was that our room was supposed have a sofa bed and it Turned out to only be a sofa. And the air was a little hard to control. Otherwise, it was great. Definitely go back!!

Great for a short trip

A decent budget-friendly hotel for a one night stay. Check in was super easy. The hotel clearly was built a long time ago but they've done well trying to update it as much as possible. Room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The complimentary breakfast had everything you needed to get a full meal in the morning. I wish the AC units were updated to allow more control over the temperature. Ours went off overnight (we could not set the temp any lower) and we could hear our neighbors being noisy all night. Having the AC on would have drowned them out and helped me sleep better. I did try to call the front desk but the phone was broken as was the alarm clock. Overall, a good stay. Ample free parking as well.
