We arrived a couple of hours earlier. The male staff member, Mike, helped us with an early check-in. After I requested to change to a non-roadside room for quietness, he immediately accommodated my request. My stay was enjoyable.

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed our stay. The towels were changed every day and the trash taken away, but the beds weren’t made up or any cleaning done as far as I could see. You have to pay for parking which we didn’t know about.

Hotel only has pillows with feathers so had to bring my own pillows due to allergies to feathers. The room and bed smelled like an animal has went to the bathroom on right at the head of the bed. Requested for a quiet room but ended up on the noisy side of the building right by a main highway.
