Great location and wonderful staff! The place was clean and quiet and comfortable. The only issue in our room was that the faucet on the shower kept coming off but we were still able to use it without an issue.

The parking was sufficient, staff was nice. Could of had more hangers and more than one chair in the room we stayed in. Really liked the idea of shampoo and body wash in the shower as opposed to bar soap. Also the provided moisturizing lotion, loved it, next to the sink in the bathroom. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Great location. Helpful staff. I do wish there were hair dryers in the room instead of having to ask for one. Also coffee only in the main office is a pain when you don't want to get dressed to go get a cup of coffee first thing in the morning! Nice coffee options in the office machine but I rather make my own in the room.

It was a good location for my stay. Staff was kind, and even got me checked in even though my flight was 4 hours late, and I arrived in the middle of the night. Bed, and pillows were extremely comfortable.

Rooms were very clean and the amount of pillows was perfect for us. Pretty quiet and didn't hear road noise. We wished there was hangers and a full size mirror in the room along with a hook in the bathroom, but otherwise a lovely stay.

Excellent location, friendly staff, very comfortable bed, and clean facility. The air conditioner worked perfect, and there was plenty of parking. I missed having a dresser and/or closet since we stayed 3 nights, I do not like living out of a suitcase. You can hear the cars driving by; however, traffic was light and it didn’t bother us. The ice machine was working on arrival, but broken by morning for the remainder of our stay. It was finally fixed on the morning of our departure. Overall a great place at a good value, and would stay here again.

Mitchell

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very nice. Three gripes, the first being the water takes minutes to get hot for the shower. The second is the sheets are too small for the bed and pop off multiple times in the night. The third is the bathroom door doesn't fully close nor does it stay fully open. Otherwise fine room, property, and customer service. Could just use some tweaking on the sheets, door hinges, and most importantly the hot water.
