My wife and I stayed for a night as a small getaway from the stresses of life. We would absolutely go back. We had very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was a good variety and fairly tasty. Room was clean, bed was soft.

Looks good, bed average if not below average.

The room did not have ports to charge cell phones. Most hotels do. I had to go out to my car to search for a charging block. The bed was okay but not really comfortable. Fortunately I was exhausted so I slept okay, but not great

The check in was easy. Very friendly front desk employees. Room could use a remodel. The could do an intense cleaning, as it's very noticeable in the corners that cleaning is not up to par. Bed and pillows were very comfy breakfast was outstanding. Overall it was a nice quiet stay.
