Friendly staff, ample parking, great location and pretty quiet. Rooms spacious and clean but they are pretty dated. Could use a makeover and newer smart TV’s but the bed was very comfortable and no bad odors. All in all, good value

The hotel itself is clean and generally well maintained. However, the manager’s behavior significantly impacted our experience. Our crew has stayed at this hotel multiple times while working nearby, but on several occasions we had very unpleasant interactions with the manager, Sean. He was consistently rude, unaccommodating, and unprofessional, showing little appreciation for returning guests. During one stay in a two-bedroom family unit booked for two people, he refused to allow check-in unless both guests were physically present. One guest was still at the job site, which was clearly explained, yet he insisted the other wait and even suggested that if we were unhappy, we should find another hotel. His communication style was dismissive and disrespectful, and his lack of basic customer service and social skills reflects very poorly on the hotel’s management. While the property itself is decent, the management experience makes it difficult to recommend staying here again.

My eye has been itching since using their towel, I really hope I didn’t get pink eye but I’m a little suspicious since it hasn’t gone away. Their hair dryer wasn’t working and I waited around 30 minutes with my hair wet at night to get a working one. In addition there were a lot of stains all over everything, and some mold in the shower. Not a bad price for one night, breakfast was okay but just expect to get hungry by noon.
