Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Convenient for highway and all attractions but limited area
Clean modern facilities however,
If you are looking for somewhere peaceful and tranquil, we’ll continue looking because this is not it. If you the type of person that hates sleeping at night then this is the place for you
Staff constantly making a noise, banging doors, laughing, screaming and this goes on until 3am.
All together a very, very good experience. Staff, especially Joyce at front desk was exceptional - friendly, kind, professional, helpful.
Room- spacious, clean. Parking-safe. 24hr security.
