Check-in was smooth and hassle-free. I loved that the lobby offered coffee, juices, fruit-infused water, and treats throughout the day. The room was spotless and the beds were wonderfully comfortable. The hotel staff were kind and friendly, which made the stay even better. Breakfast was fresh, well stocked, and had plenty of variety. A great stay overall.

This property is in a convenient location close to the airport and several restaurants. As it is offset from the road we found it quiet. In the lobby there a number of extras including a coffee machine, apples, cookies and newspapers. The rooms were clean and seemed in good condition with comfortable beds and a good shower. The only negative was the bathroom area was small and cramped.

This hotel was spotless! The cleaning crew was amazing. The breakfast is a typical continental breakfast, and very solid. Ample parking. The staff was exceptional. They coordinated taxi service for me, which was such a load off my mind. They also mitigated my own mistake in booking: I had missed a night that I needed when I originally entered my dates (my fault), so I made myself a second booking, thinking I'd just switch rooms and keep my stuff in my car during the affected day. But when I checked out from room 1, they were able to get me into room 2 right away, which I think is probably another point for the cleaning staff. Anyway, it was a nice surprise, since I was the one who had made a mistake in my booking. Very grateful to everyone!
