We were impressed with our stay start to finish. The hotel front desk couldn’t be more friendly. The hotel was super clean and the rooms spacious. Had great grab n go snacks/drinks and an excellent bar/restaurant with good food and drinks! The bartenders are super friendly and provided high level customer service!

William was extremely helpful and accommodating! Whatever we needed he was able to provide or find someone who could help out. The staff in the dining area were phenomenal! The hotel is a reformed Holiday Inn (maybe a couple of years now) and it's off of the highway - so, it's near a few amenities. I'd choose it again.
