Very friendly staff, beautiful lobby, breakfast food were okay, though, fresh yogurt was yummy. Loved espresso machine. (Huge plus!) Room: clean but very cheaply remodeled. Especially shower area. (Fresh paint on the bottom but none are updated. No where to hang towel) TV was not connected to Internet so we couldn't watch anything. If you see the room closely, you could tell not professionally remodeled. But overall, it was good.

Two restaurants near by. Parking was easy. Decor was nice in the room we had and the lobby was really nice. Room had a few things that could have been a little cleaner but was good enough for one night and getting in late

Choose Somewhere Else!!!

The room was ok. While the pictures were kind of accurate, the bathroom was sub-par and could have been cleaner, I have no idea when the last time the AC filter was changed and there was paint chipping everywhere. As a solo female traveler, I was also not entirely comfortable in the area. The next morning when I went to turn my key in and check out early, the kid behind the desk simply said "you will not be getting a refund", without even asking how my stay was. Wow, ok, so much for hospitality. I was extremely offended that he assumed that's what I was going ask for. In truth, I was going to apologize for any inconvenience and thank them, as I was only making a quick stopover for a family funeral. There are at least 6-7 hotels/motels in this area and I would strongly suggest another one. I will never return here again.

There are many restaurants and stores near the parking lot is kind of small but had enough parking for everyone. The rooms stay very cold to the point of having to turn off the ac. Rooms are very clean

Very nice for an overnight stay

The hotel itself was very nice. The breakfast buffet was very good. Top notch for cleanliness. The room was spacious and very comfortable. A few repairs to the bathroom are necessary. The paint had peeled from the wall behind the door. The shower floor left a bit to be desired. They had painted it, and it too, was peeling. We didn't want to step in that area of the shower which surrounded the drain. Housekeeping needs to be better trained on how to clean a toilet. Overall, these repairs would not deter us from staying there again. We liked our room and the bed was very comfortable.
