It's a stylish little hotel for the price. Rooms are clean and trendy. They reach out to you during the stay to see how it's going which is nice. Only downside is it is super noisy. Stomping feet above you, hallway conversations at 7am, outdoor noise. My guess is it's an older hotel they revamped, but never added in soundproofing.

Nice location by the highway and friendly staff. Didn't feel like the hotel was too cleanly as we used the coffee machine in the room and it smelled moldy. Other than that, it was a nice experience as a one stop and go stay.
