It was very nice, clean, friendly staff, etc. A bit noisy from the highway but I wear ear plugs myself so I was fine! Overall I’d highly recommend!

Fire alarm went off early in morning due to kitchen fans not turned on and my card was inactivated while I went out to my car in the am before checkout. Elevators weren’t working for at least 3 hours after fire alarm. Had to take stairs to get my card reactivated and back up again.

Perfect for a weekend stay - room was fantastic - bed was comfy - location was convenient. Would have lived to have breakfast but not a deal breaker for me. Shocked to walk in and see a lil’ hotel bar - that was unique to hotels like this. My only complaint would be the shower - there was no door, the pressure was funny, and I had a hard time figuring out the water temp. I would definitely recommend a stay here and I’m sure I will be back.
