Great place, don’t think twice

Great stay coming from NY as a halfway point. There was no hot water and no comps for it. Slightly disappointed as a hot shower would be nice! The room was great and so comfy. Best bed we have had in a while.

From the moment I arrived, the front desk agent (Sherrika Laws) was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She checked us in with a pleasant smile and demeanor, which immediately made us feel at home. Sherreka Laws was incredibly helpful with local recommendations for restaurants." My room was [describe the room positively, e.g., "spotlessly clean, spacious. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep, and all the amenities, such as a restaurant, Starbucks coffee, and Wi Fi were top-notch.
