It was ok for the most part my only concern was that I couldn’t close my front window which led to me waking up in and out of sleep due to traffic late at night

The staff is very helpful and friendly. I like that the parking lot has cameras and the front desk has a screen to monitor them. One late morning my husband checked to see if there was coffee in the lobby but there wasn’t. He turned around to leave and the front desk person told him to wait, and he made him coffee. They care about service and it shows. The room was great and larger than most.

I recommend this hotel to anyone! I was on a budget so I was expecting much from this place but the service here was amazing! We only stayed a night but after check out they gave us a granola bar for the road haha like I said I wasn’t expecting a whole lot for the location and price but the people here work hard and love their customers would come back:)
