Family suite was great with a kitchen area and separate living room from the bedroom. Would have loved for the bathroom to be in the middle as my boys had to go through our sleeping area to reach the bathroom but wasn’t a major thing. Breakfast was decent. Super friendly staff. Comfortable beds. Great AC. Would stay again.

This was a nice budget-friendly hotel. It's obviously not a brand new facility, but everything was clean and updated, making the most of what is there. The restaurant next door had very nice breakfast - simple menu, but good food (not powdered eggs!!) The television was a bit confusing, especially if someone wasn't used to finding "LiveTV" as an app on a Smart TV, and it was confusing trying to get to the channel you wanted. I had to get my door key re-set each day which was a bit of a pain, but since my room was right behind the desk, not as much as it could have been. Staff was friendly and helpful.
