The location was convenient but too close to highway. Fascilities and standard was good. Staff was just ok, but during this visit I noticed that service is perhaps not the strongest focus in US these days. Breakfast was fine, could be some more salads and vegetables.

The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed visiting the pool. We highly appreciate the covered parking which helped us to feel very safe. The general decor is appealing but also well thought out with lots of areas to sit in the lobby. We love the set up of the rooms. It is great to have a lounge area in the room. The staff were very friendly and professional. We would definitely stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised by how nice, clean, and up to date it was, considering how much I paid for the room. The price was super affordable and low cost. Way cheaper than some of the surrounding hotels. I will definitely come back. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this amazing hotel to everyone.
