This property was a quick in/out for us as we were passing through. It turned out to be a great choice. The staff was friendly and informative, the room was clean and comfortable, the location was great for our needs, and there were many options for food near by. Although we didn’t have time to take advantage of the amenities, they offer a gym and pool which is nice for the kids. I definitely recommend.
