"Location is convenient and close to attractions. Staff was helpful and resourceful. The hardwood floor vinyl in our room was sticking up in certain parts of the room making it difficult to walk around. Shower was hard to manage but luckily there were instructions included on the wall. TV had some color issues and we weren't able to access the settings. Beds were comfy and parking was accessible. Good stay."

"My friend and I arrived really late, like 11:50pm. The property was easy to find, quiet, and there were a few parking spaces left behind the building inside the hotel property. There was a little issue but the staff addressed it super professionally and kindly. The bath robes were a huge plus and water pressure amazing!! Cute working fireplace made it cozy. The breakfast was just delicious!!! I don’t care for free breakfast because they tend to be all sugar and plastic but they really had it down. AMAZING sausages, fluffy scrambled eggs with pepper jack cheese on top and breakfast potatoes!! It was like we were at a brunch restaurant and REAL silverware showed care for the guests and the environment. It was a girls trip after we started empty nesting and this hotel helped the start of our trip on the right foot. Definitely visit again."

"I picked the hotel for having a pool. Unfortunately, my plans changed and I stayed only for one night, arriving very late in the evening and departed early in the morning. SO, I did not have a chance to try the pool for lap swimming. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the rooms looked as clean and well-maintained as the pictures depicted. The area was quiet, the bed was comfortable, and room amenities were sufficient. I had an issue with airport cab, requiring payment in cash. I was short $5, which the hotel staff kindly offered to loan. I recommend the hotel to anyone who seeks an affordable lodging arrangement"
