Great experience. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. We appreciated the spaciousness of the room and the Paul Mitchell shampoo. The breakfast selection was a nice change for us as we have been in several hotels lately. The AC didn’t work well by morning, but made the room cool enough to sleep in. The staff were friendly as well. We would be happy to stay here again. Thank you for an affordable option for our family.

As traveling entertainers we stay in a lot of hotels. I found they had rooms pet friendly and not pet friendly. So if you choose a room that is pet friendly there is still a fee for a pet…Not so friendly. I read reviews for this place much better than we experienced
