We had a great experience with this spot. No, not the most luxurious space to stay in, but the customer service was so fantastic that it didn’t even matter. They are there for you & to make your accommodations as comfortable as possible. They continue to improve the building as time goes on, so I know this will continue to build and grow to accommodate more customers down the road. Thank you!

I stayed for just one night as a halfway point on a road trip. It’s a really fair price for a hotel room. The front desk staff was really kind and welcoming. The room, overall, was decent. Clean and comfortable for the most part, but the carpet seemed like it needed a very thorough vacuum. There was a hair or two in the shower. And lastly, a sliver of the front door in the bottom left corner was missing, which let light in from the hallway. I assume people in the hallway would be able to see if someone was in the room if the lights were on, which didn’t give me a huge sense of security.
