Nice location by the highway and friendly staff. Didn't feel like the hotel was too cleanly as we used the coffee machine in the room and it smelled moldy. Other than that, it was a nice experience as a one stop and go stay.

Liked the restaurant /bar.
For the price, rooms just ok, beds not that comfortable, house keeping never came to clean room, hot tub was out of order, and have to pay for parking!

The beds were so comfortable, we slept great. Only downside was paying for parking and the walls are thin so we woke up several times to neighbors slamming the doors. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were cleaned and restocked daily, really enjoyed the service.

A delightful surprise for my overnight stay. Staff was super friendly, room was above expectations and their onsite food options for breakfast was super convenient. Close enough to walk to downtown with paying that price for being close. I’d stay again without a hesitation.
