Wonderful hotel with friendly staff. Loved the room layout with small kitchen and comfortable king size bed. Quiet hotel for getting a good night’s sleep, but close to restaurants, gas, and convenience shopping. No continental breakfast, but lobby stays stocked with free coffee, apples, yogurt, and snacks. Great stay!

We have stayed here numerous times. It is pet friendly, which is nice when we bring our furry friend. Being pet friendly and seeing other dogs at the hotel, it is still a quiet hotel. I never heard another dog. The rooms were clean and modern, the staff, friendly and helpful, and the price is right. We will be back again.

We’ve stayed at this property before so I knew that we’d be getting a clean comfortable room. This hotel offers fully stocked kitchens which is a plus. The beds are comfortable and the hotel very quiet. The staff is very friendly.
