Rooms were cleaned everyday during our week stay and they would change sheets upon request. Breakfast had a good variety and staff did a good job insuring sufficient items were out no matter the time in the morning. Comfortable place to stay. The front staff were always very friendly and helpful. Special thank you to Blair for all her help.

Had a later check-in. Staff was super friendly and helpful, and got me up and going easily with the EV charger. Nice, clean area all around. I had some meetings scheduled to take after check-out and the staff was super helpful to ensure I was able to attend those without issue.
Nice open, dedicated area for EV charging.
