Great stay

Very nice staff and clean. Excellent stay overall. Would recommend they open the gym to 24/7, as 8am open time is late for early risers. Also keep sanitation supplies in the gym to wipe down equipment.

Good basic hotel. Clean, comfortable bed. Refrigerator has no freezer for our cooler icepacks. Shower door made terrible screeching noise when opening. Quiet air conditioning/heating unit. Overall quiet though could easily hear an angry guy talking on his phone from our bathroom. Didn’t last long though and then it was very quiet.

We have stayed at this property before and enjoyed its proximity to family, ease of check in, and pleasant accommodations. This time there was confusion around room choice, no early check in (20 minutes), and challenges around getting to the property through major road construction. While reasonably priced, clean, and comfortable, this was not our best stay.
