Love the designs in bathroom.. excellent breakfast in the morning and a few guests were still eating the staff member was very kind in letting us finish eating.

10/10 Excellent
"Comfort, amenities, location, and parking are just a few of the things that can make a hotel stay a great experience. What makes it even better is when the staff feels supported by management, and that support is reflected in the service they provide to guests. That is truly the icing on the cake. Angie was an absolute delight! She was helpful, knowledgeable, kind, communicative, patient, and so much more. She clearly takes pride in her work, does her job exceptionally well, and deserves a raise! When welcoming guests, you never know what someone may be going through or what circumstances have brought them there. Sometimes, a little kindness, patience, and exceptional service can make all the difference. Angie demonstrated exactly that. This is why I would recommend staying here over other nearby hotels. Great amenities are important, but it's the people who make an experience memorable. Thank you again, Angie, and to the rest of the staff working that evening (10-11-2026). Your kindness and hospitality did not go unnoticed!"
