Our room was very comfortable and accommodating due to the nature that we're disabled. And the front desk clerk was extremely friendly and he remembered us from a previous visit. We will definitely stay again.

The parking was excellent. It was right next to our room so it made things easy for us to move our stuff inside. We had an issue with our water knob being hot in our bathtub, but they quickly resolve the issue. I would definitely return again.

It was a day stay for us, and room were clean. Beds are a little on the tough side and pillows are more flat. The tv wasn’t working and I told the staff. On positive my dog could stay here for $30 a night not bad. My dog is blind so I take him everywhere. Parking was free. Decent stay nothing fancy.

I had a great stay overall. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the bed was especially comfortable after a long day. The staff was friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out quick and easy. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. I also appreciated the quiet atmosphere—it made it easy to relax. There were a few small things that could be improved, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. I would definitely consider staying here again and would recommend it to others looking for a reliable and comfortable place to stay.
