The staff, especially front desk staff were especially helpful and welcoming, which was greatly appreciated as we had just come in after many hours of driving on college tours. Positive prior reviews on staff was what attracted me to book our reservation. The reviews were accurate. The room was comfortable, easy access from the highway, and they have Starbucks coffee, which was a plus. Recommend.

Convenient. Rooms was small...odd. For nearly $200.... We found it odd that there was no "free" coffee service in the lobby or breakfast bar

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel shares a common shared space with an Italian restaurant and a BP gas station convenience store, so we didn’t need to travel to eat dinner or get snacks or gas. The area felt safe. The staff was attentive and friendly. The rooms facing the highway are a little noisy due to traffic noise, but that should be expected. Overall, we would stay at the hotel again.

Lovely place

I just love this place. I have stayed in some other courtyard Marriott, where nobody pays attention to the condition of the actual courtyard. But this one was so clean and there was even a fire pit that the nice young gentleman at the front desk lit for me and my friends. Their kitchen bar area is open until 9 PM which is a nice treat when you get in late.
