Pleasantly surprised

I was concerned at first because the hallways smelled like air freshener. But when I got in the room, it smelled so clean. I was surprised. The staff was so nice. The food was…. decent (it’s a hotel). It was in great proximity of everything I wanted to do. I would recommend this place.

The property was nice. Seemed pretty clean and actually smelled good throughout. Carpets in hall could use a cleaning but they weren’t bad. Room was clean and I liked that they were wood floors. Beds were comfortable and very clean. Plenty of room in the two queen bed room. We had a quiet stay. Bathroom shower could have a little tlc to call around tub. There was plenty of soaps and bath stuff. We did end up forgetting toothpaste and they did have travel tubes they gave us. Only con is that they need more then one washing machine and drier. I would definitely stay again as the hotel was clean and taken care of. Breakfast was good also. Staff were amazing. Super friendly and helpful.
