The overall appearance of the exterior was well kept up. Upon check in there was a little wait time but that could have been due to the 4th of July. The room was clean and full of towels. The staff was nice. The only thing I didn't care for was the area was kind of industrial but everything else was good. I would recommend staying here.

Stayed for a night - Mom, dad and 2 girls. It was a good experience and we enjoyed our stay. Parking was easy, breakfast was okay, probably it’s time to get a waffle maker but other than that it was all good.

The hotel itself was spotless, clearly well‑managed, and in a perfect location for everything we needed. The AC worked perfectly and the staff was very nice. The only downside was breakfast. On both mornings we went down to eat, the food was already gone and everything had been put away, leaving us with no options at all. And it was before breakfast time was over.
