Hotel is new, only opened in June 2025. The room was very well presented, clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and the 24hr fresh coffee was great. Will certainly stay there again.

Check in was fast and smooth. The rooms were spacious, nice large bathroom! Parking could be better, and the parking lot filled up quickly on the front side. However, I don’t know if there was parking in the back.
Everything was nice. The bed was my only issue. Ive slept in way cheaper hotels with way better beds. This was like sleeping on the floor.

Staff was super nice and helpful room was amazing just as pictured. Super nice place. Would absolutely stay again. Booked last minute when your house caught fire and we had to leave quickly.
Clean, beautiful, and well designed hotel. Always a smile from your staff. They are very friendly and welcoming. Walls of the building are very thin. We could hear EVERYTHING going on around us.
