I was leery about the neighborhood but it was a nice quiet area. Convenient location. Several dining options within a 5 minute drive. We needed to check in early and it was no problem whatsoever. Room was updated and clean. Staff was very friendly. My wife forgot an expensive pair of sunglasses and the hotel found them and held on to them until she picked them up a few days later which to me speaks to integrity. I would stay here again.

Will go back.

Stayed here before. It is a nice place. Since the first time we went the prices per night have gone up a lot. We stay to go to the racetrack, we only did one night because of the price where we did multiple nights in the past.

Hotel and room were clean, staff was very friendly, breakfast was good, and I loved that they had things like tea and cocoa available instead of just coffee. As a non-coffee drinker I get frustrated when they only have coffee.

So clean

I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in a cleaner hotel - the two rooms we had were spotless. The rooms were comfortable and the shower was amazing. Breakfast had lots of great options and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely stay again if in the area.
