Good Hotel

Great basic motel with good, reasonably sized rooms for overnight stays while travelling. The free breakfast doesn’t have a lot of variety but there's something for everyone and plenty of it. Would definitely stay again.

When we arrived the hotel was over booked because of a flight issue, therefore the rooms were not ready upon our arrival. We just got off a 23 hour flight. We were exhausted, the hotel dining area was closed , and crowded. No where to sit to wait for room to be cleaned. Hardly no restaurants in the area to find food. It was a crowded city type area. The breakfast in the morning was decent and friendly staff the next day. 8/2/25-8/3/25
