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.

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.

Overpriced for what you get

This place is a dolled up, overpriced HoJo. The flickering light in our bathroom was a metaphor for everything wrong with this hotel. Things were broken - an outlet and a light. The carpet was dingy and looked as though it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. The first room they put us in smelled like gas (so we moved, obviously). Our room had 2 queen beds and was quite small - not much room for walking or baggage. AC worked but was loud. Beds were not very comfortable. All in all, the $500+/night (total cost with taxes and fees) was soooo not worth it. Bummer.
