Loccation was great, close to AIrport (15 min). Clean, parking was easy. I really liked using texting for checking out, everything was fast, easy, & simple.

Everything was wonderful. Staff was lovely, the room was very clean.
While it’s nice to not have to pay for parking, it’s definitely a budget hotel, which helps make for perks like free parking and such.
Conveniently located within walking of a handful of restaurants, also a perk.
Lastly, very close to the highway - also awesome.
I should add that the mattress and pillows were comfortable - always important!
