"We just needed a bed on the way to the airport and this hotel was clean and comfy.l"

8.0

Decent location, quiet area, good breakfast with lots of choices, comfortable bed, spacious room.

Thin walls, could hear other rooms. Bathroom was a little tired and could use a refresh, but it wasn't bad.

"Staff and facility were all great!"

10.0

Rooms were clean and very comfortable. That’s what we needed. Breakfast was a special touch. Several hot and cold options. Everything was very clean and that’s very important to me. Staff was also pleasant.

Not their fault - electricity went out and it was tough getting my Mom down 3 flights of stairs. Again, not their fault. This question is more for corporate - why do you have mobility access rooms on the 3rd floor? Thank goodness my Mom can walk but if she was in a wheelchair, I’m not sure how we would have made it down.

"This is my second stay here, so you know I must like it! Great beds!"

8.0

The sheets are incredibly soft and I appreciated the firm and soft pillows. The bed was very comfortable. Location is nice because it is right by the highway, but not on it, and you can't hear it. Clean and comfortable room. Two restaurants across the street are easy to walk to and the Asian place was delicious.
