We had a great one-night stay, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious with a decent kitchen setup. The only issue we had was that there was some hair underneath the extra blanket on the bed which was gross, but overall it was a good stay!

Great place for a quick stay, nothing fancy but convenient location. Friendly staff, quiet stay, and decent rooms with a kitchen if you need it. They are pet friendly which is great but our room smelled like a wet dog. So I would recommend asking if they have rooms that they don’t allow pets in for a future stay. Overall a great place for a great price!
