This hotel has been updated and is very nice. I was impressed with how clean it was. We had everything that we needed and at a great price! They don't have a staff on site or have breakfast, but we chose to eat at the bar that is close and had great food, or there is a bakery close that is wonderful.

Ac worked well room temperature was very comfortable, location was good, parking was convenient, the only negative was that the room listing left out the size of the bed, I would not have rented the room for a double bed we prefer queen size at least.

First time at this property. Rate was great, ample parking, room was very clean. Mini-frig and microwave very useful, given that area restaurants were closed early on Sunday night. Interesting concept with no manned front desk but remote access via a tablet in the lobby to connect with support personnel. Tailored to guests with a smart phone, check-in and key issuance is also possible for those without one. Everything about this process worked exceptionally well. Would definitely stay here again!
