The stay was nice. A bit more in price but it was a holiday weekend. Tucked away just off the HWY behind a restaurant. Not the best neighborhood but the Hotel does have security in the parking lot at night. Staff was friendly and hotel was clean. No issues like other brands that have guest that are loud in the rooms and smell of weed. Hotel is a little older but our experience was great. Breakfast was outstanding and the staff very pleasant. Thank you

Great facility to stay in. Family friendly

My daughter and I had a great experience at this hotel. Our 3 nights were nothing but exceptional. The room was cleaned daily and linen changed daily. The offered breakfast every morning. I just suggest that they provide lunch and dinner for purchase if possible. This is because I had a small child with me and did not want to order uber daily for lunches and dinner. Making provision for lunches and dinner for purchase qould benefit families who travel with little children. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay at this hotel.

Location was close to a lot of things. Right off expressway and bar/grill in same block. First set of key cards did not work, went back to front desk and cards were rescanned. Cards again did not work. Was then moved to another room short distance. This room ac did not work. No answer at front desk. Change of shift and I was given another room a few rooms down and better condition. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel hallway and stair way smelled of marijuana. Last day, cleaning ladies knocked at 10am, I told them we would be checking out at 12 and they acknowledged understanding. An hr later they returned , knocked and opened door at same time, did not wait for a response. I opened door and they apologized. 1140 I was loading luggage into vehicle , when they returned again while my gf was in the restroom. Staff didn’t know just opened door with card. They apologized again and 5 min later returned to do the same.
