Staff was welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was a highlight. The room was nothing fancy but it was clean and comfortable. I wish the lighting in the parking area was better since room entry is from outside. Overall a good night’s rest for the price!

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was perfect. The staff were nice/welcoming and even accommodated early check in with no issue. The location is great and close to everything. This place is super cute and modernized. It felt more like a little apartment vs a hotel. It did not feel like a motel at all.
