"Needed a quick room during a snowstorm. This was priced well, room was decent (AC/Heater was loud)…the hotel itself smelt musky…but the bed was clean and that’s the biggest plus. If you need a quick spot this is it. Night staff was kind and helped us check in easily. "

10/10 Excellent
"This place was a tremendous surprise. First of all the location is great: a safe, upscale neighborhood. After a long road trip, Stephen welcomed us at the front desk when we came to check in late. He was extremely helpful and kind. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious. I had waffles and my son had biscuits and gravy. The decor is fresh and updated, the pool area very clean with charming murals on all of the walls. Nice hot tub. I’ve stayed in many hotels and it is hard to know by pictures and reviews sometimes, but I would not hesitate to go back to this place or recommend it to anyone else! Book here with confidence."
