Hotel is new, only opened in June 2025. The room was very well presented, clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and the 24hr fresh coffee was great. Will certainly stay there again.
Clean, beautiful, and well designed hotel. Always a smile from your staff. They are very friendly and welcoming. Walls of the building are very thin. We could hear EVERYTHING going on around us.

Nice newer hotel. Room was clean, staff was very nice and helpful.
The room was spacious, quiet and clean. Not sure why they charge $75 for a pet to sleep there….? Also, wish they would actively prohibit the smoking (of everything) right next to entrances/exits.
Overall, very nice place.
Every single thing about the place is absolutely top notch. You will not be disappointed
