The check-in was efficient and staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and bathroom seemed updated, shampoo, conditioner, soap was pleasant. Breakfast was okay with healthy options--fruit, yogurt. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, but okay for one night. I would stay here again if in the area.

This hotel was significantly nicer than most other economy hotels in its class. We found the rooms to be tastefully decorated and comfortable. We had an opportunity to enjoy the small but uncrowded pool (Sunday night). The breakfast was good for this category of hotel and we enjoyed the automatic pancake maker that cooked up tasty pancakes to order. It is not a four-star level hotel, nor does it pretend to be, but it is well above average for a two-star economy tier hotel.

After a small snafu at check-in to a room that hadn’t been fully cleaned yet (it turns out after 60+ rooms had been vacated that morning), the desk clerk quickly moved my room and called to check to make sure everything was suitable. The room was quiet, clean, and the bed comfortable, with great WiFi. I will stay here again!

The hotel was bright and welcoming. The staff was speedy and knowledgeable checking us in. You can smell how clean the sheets are. Option of firmness of pillows and 2 different toilet paper choices. The eggs at breakfast were just blah. Luckily, there were lots of other breakfast options. We would stay here again.
