Great stay overall. The staff was friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the check-in process was quick. The hotel was quiet and in a convenient location. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
Was a “just right” room with everything we needed. A little short on the breakfast offerings and the exterior sign was out when we came in that night 😎
The staff was friendly and prompt to help. The room was clean and comfortable.

I will never stay at that hotel ever again. It was nasty. The refrigerator didn’t work because it wasn’t turned on the service was horrible. The breakfast wasn’t even a breakfast.
The front desk personnel were super helpful with tourism ideas and the rest of the staff were friendly. The room was clean and the hotel location was good for driving to attractions.
