I liked the clean room, comfortable bed, and very hospitable and helpful front desk. I did not like the barn door to the bathroom, or the location of the open bathroom space so close to the bed. I wish every hotel would have a soft night light in the bathroom.

I would recommend it if anyone asked. I would definitely ask them if they prefer their room right next to an entrance where a lot of traffic comes and goes. (My dog hears everything.) Also, if you have a young child and or dog and a lot of belongings to get a room where you can use a trolley for your belongings. The AC did keep turning off in the middle of the night so I had to have it running all night. The outside was very nice to walk around and atmosphere was nice. Staff was very friendly and professional. Room was spacious for my son. However , I have never had to pay for parking at a hotel. I did hit my leg on the bed frame multiple times, which sticks out. It all depends on what’s more important to you when staying somewhere, especially for the cost per night. :) If from out of town, I would definitely recommend for location.

Paper thin walls - we were in bed at 9:30pm, and all night heard the baby in the room next door crying, kids running up and down the halls until 11:00pm, and the lady across the hall opening and closing her door while doing some very late packing. We called down to the lobby for them to please come up and talk to the people with the kids in the hallway and constantly opening and shutting of doors. We finally got to sleep around 3:30am and had to wake up at 4:15am for our flight. This place is lipstick on a pig - it's got a great layout, it was clean, it's updates, and even the bed is comfortable - but no one cares about any of that if they can't actually get to sleep because of the walls being too thin. I would have totally preferred an old and outdated if I could have actually slept in it.

This would be a great place for extended stay. The room was functional and clean. The property was more like an apartment complex than a hotel and the kitchen was nice, complete with counter bar seating. You could probably make a great meal if you added an air fryer for long stays. The breakfast was about average but still a nice amenity.
