"It is fine for a clean place to rest your head and clean up for the night. The staff was friendly and check in was smooth. It was close by to lots of dining options and things to do if thats what you are looking for. The parking lot could definitely use some work. I was just looking for a place to sleep, relax for the night, and clean up before hitting the road again. If you are traveling, and this is not your pleasure destination, this should hit the marks."

"This property offers the basic amenities, is very clean, and pleasant. The outside entry to the building locks after a certain time, and our key card wasn’t working properly, but the attendant didn’t mind us waking her up to help us. No breakfast because of COVID, but otherwise everything was fine. "
