Great location and convenient for food options, there's a Mexican Market across the street with great tacos! gas station and down the road there's more eateries. The hotel is clean, friendly staff and the woman in charge of the breakfast is very helpful and friendly! Great waffles! The only suggestion would be air freshners or odor eaters as the room may smell a bit musty (the carpet maybe). Overall, I would revisit. Thank you!!

Staff asked if we wanted the room cleaned every other day and we agreed. We had to remind them to clean on the third day and they did not clean on the fifth day. Breakfast menu was okay but not great. Heat and AC was either too hot or too cold - we couldn’t get it adjusted. Fitness room was good.

It was ok!

Someone left our window open, so it was difficult to get our room to comfortable temp. We had ants in our bathroom ( everywhere) Front desk was not helpful in resolution... Robot was so cool. ( Would bring you things from the front desk.) Breakfast was great, many choices for everyone!
