Hard to find as hardly any signage. Also, expedia needs to show a phone number to this property. I had to google their number and ask them how to find them. We spent 45 minutes driving around to find them.

This was a great experience. It was a very cute hotel. They had a playground for the kids, a dog park for the dog, and a nice breakfast. The staff was fantastic and attentive. It was a great deal. The only downside is it’s near the expressway. So you do have expressway noise. But it was totally worth it. The overall experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this.
