Overnight stay

The hotel was clean. Front desk was friendly. Room was large and comfortable. It's very close to the airport. My only negative is the sound from the room above. Fortunately, they didn't stay up long because the sounds of people walking around was noisier than I would have liked. However, I would still stay there again if I were in the area.

I have stayed at this location both alone and with my family when traveling for work. The location is safe and the hotel its self is clean and comfortable. The customer service is the reason I continue to return. The owner is kind, considerate and very welcoming.

Good location

Nice place. Good location. Plenty of parking. Friendly host at the front desk. Remodeled room, but the floor squeaks. Mini soap and shampoo, we’re ok, but not worth writing about. Quiet even though it’s next to a busy street.
