Very nice overnight stay. The property was very clean, the staff were very friendly. It would’ve helped to have some USB outlets to plug into in the room because we didn’t have our cubes with us. Bathroom floor & baseboards could use some upgrading eventually, but otherwise the place was fantastic and the breakfast was wonderful. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was great, stopped for the night and had a great rest in a clean room. Air conditioner was a little noisy, probably just needs the filter cleaned more often. The bed mattress was super comfy, TV worked great, and continental breakfast was very good, well stocked and saved us from having to go somewhere else, saving us money. Would recommend.
