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.

The beds were so comfortable, we slept great. Only downside was paying for parking and the walls are thin so we woke up several times to neighbors slamming the doors. Staff was nice and helpful. Rooms were cleaned and restocked daily, really enjoyed the service.

Terrible Hotel - do not recommend

phone did not work, hotel does not have glass cups, there was a dripping noise all night and I was up from 2am-6am. I told the front desk about all of this and they just nodded their head. They never offered to fix it or to help. It was so bizarre. I never complain about any hotel and know this is not a 5 star resort but it smelled like cigarette smoke, my pillows were dirty. Overall it was terrible . Will never stay here again.
