Very pleased
Incredibly friendly staff when we checked in! I wish I could remember their names (one girl had pretty twist in her hair and another with cute “Harry Potter” glasses) they couldn’t have been more helpful and inviting. Can’t say the same really for who checked us out (blonde and a gentleman that I assume was the manager) but they were nice enough, just seemed bothered to help us try to get our points attached. But definitely didn’t deter our overall experience.. maybe just smile or something lol The room was newly renovated, spacious and clean! Best part- pet friendly! The hotel was quiet and had plenty of parking. Hotel was close enough to restaurants that it wasn’t an ordeal to go out and grab a drink. We will definitely stay again.

We wanted to go downtown but the main road was blocked. The young man could not tell us how to get to town but did offer an explanation as to why the road was blocked. The coffee station was a nice touch however the coffee in the containers was cold.

Apparently someone aka morning front desk clerk, checked us out 1 day early, and around 6pm-6:30pm night front desk called me while i was driving to the hotel, said i need to talk to you, you've been checked out, i said i am about to pull in, she loudly shouted, no, i need to talk to you, i said im driving and pulling in to the hotel now. Never got an apology from her, cleaning staff was very apologetic.
