Overall, things were not bad, but the carpeting in our room needed cleaning, and there was a gray streak of dirt in the toilet, suggesting it hadn't been scrubbed. Breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly.

Good property with helpful staff to make your stay comfortable. The breakfast area gets busy quickly due to a small space but the staff handled everything efficiently to keep things moving. Rooms are clean which is always good to see & McDonald's is right across the property. Parking fills up pretty fast due to that.

We had a great experience during our stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff were friendly and professional. We had a king room and it was spacious, quiet, and had all the amenities necessary for a relaxing stay. The location was convenient, with easy access to the highway and nearby food. The check-in and check-out process was smooth and efficient, making the entire experience stress-free.

Larry, Peter, Fernando and Patel at the front desk were the sweetest kindest friendliest front desk staff I’ve come across in a very long time. The room was very clean just an average hotel room. But as soon as it turned 10:01 they would not let us make a waffle but other than that 10 out of 10 would recommend going again just because of the excellent customer service at the front desk!
