Quiet, pet friendly

Very quiet, could not hear road noise, other guests, children. Beds were extra soft and because it was wheelchair accessible room, beds were really low to ground. Both chairs were hard. No comfortable seating. NO SITTING STOOL IN BATHROOM TO TAKE A SHOWER WITH!! I have mobility issues but am not in a wheelchair so room was inappropriate to my needs. I should have read the description better. Coffee downstairs was better than in room, in room had a plastic taste to it. I would stay here again, just need to not get the wheelchair compatible room is all. Our dog was well accepted by the staff. Whoever owns the mustang needs to put mufflers on it as it woke us up and was annoying every time it was started and ran.

Just ok

It was just ok. The first room they gave us was dirty and the entire floor reeked of someone's cooking. The second room was fine although not the bed type we requested. But was on a different floor that didn't stink. The room was clean and comfortable. The only issue was staff did fill shampoo dispensers in the shower. Front desk staff were VERY VERY friendly and great coffee in the lobby. Price was fine but wouldn't stay again
