When you walk into your room you already have a sense of comfort and quiet room, you're welcomed with a delightful smell; the bathroom especially smells nice—freshly stocked towels, extra pillows in the closet. The room is enormous and has lots of space. Parking for my EV vehicle is especially convenient, with about five charging spots available. I was well accommodated for my broken foot as they expediated a room on the lower level, making my traverse much easier. I will come by again and enjoy it very much for the price. Thank you Ayres and staff.

Air conditioning is a joke and so is the water pressure. Worst I've seen at any hotel. The free breakfast looked really unappealing, which seems the norm at all hotels offering free breakfast post-COVID.

Although the amenities are slightly dated, the room was very clean, comfortable and had everything I needed for my stay. The hotel was quiet, clean and staffed with friendly people. The parking area ample, was well lit, and near hotel doors. In all, I chose Ayres hotels when possible for these reasons.
