The staff were very helpful in showing us where to park. The room was clean, beds were comfortable, however, the window shade had tears in it and the walls need updating. Overpriced for the amenities provided.

We had the best stay! We stayed for 9 days, our room was always cleaned and had new towels, the beds were comfy and the staff was amazing!!! Everyone was so kind and happy! The one thing we didn’t like was the parking was tight in the front but they didn’t tell us about the spaces in the back! There is another parking lot behind the building! The breakfast was perfect and always stocked up! Deff worth the stay!
