We stayed here mid November and booked this hotel through Expedia. You never know what the hotel is really gonna be like or the area is going to be in until you get there. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s located right next to a Mercedes-Benz dealership and everything we wanted to do was with in 15 minutes.. upon arrival we were created with friendly staff and a prompt response when needed additional towels. I highly recommend this hotel. My husband needs his breakfast every morning and he was happy with the breakfast that was served. Definitely would stay there again.

The front desk lady was so, so nice. She was always so friendly when arriving or departing. You could find her cleaning and the lobby always smelled fresh and clean. I even checked out and realized a forgot something and she put me on hold to personally go check my room and retrieve the item I left. Would def stay there again. The area seemed safe as well.
