Our room carpet had 100s of stains and was incredibly hard to look at and walk on. The walls on every side were very thin and you could hear everything from all neighbors. I’m sorry but not at all worth a 300+ dollar room. We just can’t accept the lack of cleanliness!

Nice location by the highway and friendly staff. Didn't feel like the hotel was too cleanly as we used the coffee machine in the room and it smelled moldy. Other than that, it was a nice experience as a one stop and go stay.

I was surprised there wasn’t a microwave. The cleaning staff came WAY too early in the morning so basically didn’t get anything cleaned or coffee restocked without asking. I was also supposed we had to pay for parking. They had a cute area for hanging out with a fire pit but other than that I was impressed.
