Clean room, facility. New. Gated parking lot, key entry into lobby and to parking makes it extra secure. Free breakfast. Lobby area is nice. Helpful front desk.

Large, clean room with comfortable bed and pillows. I especially appreciate the coat hooks near the door. Nice breakfast choices.
Rooms are nice. A little work with the fixtures is needed. If you stay in room 409, there is a very low humming noise coming from something mechanical up on the roof that turns on from time to time. Also, I mistakingly booked 2 nights instead of 3. Although I asked if I could add another night, I was still required to check out. Booked another night through Expedia and got a great rate, saving me almost half off the hotel price. Checked back in to a room once again on the top floor opposite side of the hall and no humming sound to be heard. I would stay again.
Rooms were clean but very small for a family. Breakfast had good options for both kids and adults.

We wanted a reasonably priced pet friendly hotel - this place has secret add on fees so that your final cost is similar to a luxury hotel. And believe me, it is not luxury, Think rude, sullen staff and somebody’s old toothbrush and toilet paper roll lying out in the bathroom. Yuck.

Room was clean.
Check-in staff was perfunctory.
Check-out staff allowed us back in to retrieve a jacket in the closet. We left it because the closet and bathroom share the same sliding door.
