Highly recommend this place. Easy to get to plenty of parking, rooms were clean and updated. We were asked at arrival if we wanted our room cleaned and fresh towels during our stay. That doesn’t happen anymore. We ate at the in house restaurant and that was good too!

Stay somewhere else!

Coffee bar was supposed be open at 6:00 am. Did not open until after 6:30. And instead of offering complimentary coffee like nearly every other hotel in the world, a black coffee was $5.40. Guy at the main desk was unapologetic. Horrible customer service; don’t stay here.
