Good nights sleep!

The room was on the smaller side but very very clean and had everything you could think of. The decor was spot on. We were in town for a local soccer tournament. It was nice to have a quiet nights sleep without doors constantly slamming or people running up and down hallways. Parking was so easy. We will be staying again.

Unlike large hotel chain, this hotel is clean and cozy with easy parking, friendly staff (even the cleaning crews) and free breakfast. Highly recommended. The only suggestion for the hotel is to make the hotel sign more visible especially at night. It is a bit difficult to see when street parked cars block the view of the entrance.

Cozy and quiet

Cozy place. Nice and quiet. Has a nice patio and pool I wish I could have used more. Breakfast was good, not your typical fake eggs and fake food, so it was healthy choice with homemade oatmeal and an excellent coffee machine.
