I was skeptical at first, but literally just needed a place to sleep for a quick overnight trip. The room was large and clean. The continental breakfast delivered to your room is very unique, and worked well from my perspective. Will definitely stay again!!

Needs new beds

And all the traveling that we do this was by far the worst bed we've ever slept in. Hotel is in need of a major upgrade of their beds. Also really don't like sitting in my room and all I can smell is marijuana. I know that it's from the guests, not the hotel, but I think they would do more to enforce people from standing outside the doors smoking marijuana.
