Great service! Everyone was super wonderful and the breakfast was great. The room was super clean and I would definitely stay here again.
The rooms are well equipped and allowed us to entertain our friends. The rooms are clean and quiet and the breakfast menu has a wide variety of tasty items.
Clean room and super-friendly staff. Parking is convenient and close to the highway. The location is convenient to dining and shopping. The property appears a little tired, and you do experience some road noise from the highway and the hallway, but overall, it's a good experience.
