We had a great stay! The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant in the lobby, but the menu I saw seemed to have some great dishes. The location was great, with many restaurants, stores, and gas stations nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice.
This place was amazing. Nice and new. Very clean. Everything worked in the room. My only small complaint would be the beds. They are very high. Short or older people will have to crwal up on them.

Shower curtain
Everything was fine except for the shower. You could tell there used to be a door there, but they put a curtain up, but it didn’t go to the floor so when I got out of the shower, there was water all over the floor.
I’ve been taking showers for quite a while and know how to close the curtain and all that stuff… what can I say?

The staff were so nice and helpful! We were arriving super late and asked for the A/C to be turned down before our arrival and they were more than happy to oblige. The room was super clean and the beds were comfy too! Would definitely stay here again!

Clean room and property. Beds were comfortable. The beds sit very high. I had to give my mom (5’ 2”) a boost up so she could get in bed! lol.
The dining room/bar served good food and the breakfast was good.
