Hard to find as hardly any signage. Also, expedia needs to show a phone number to this property. I had to google their number and ask them how to find them. We spent 45 minutes driving around to find them.

Staff seemed to be inconvenienced when checking in and out. There was no tv remote in the room and none was provided for our stay, so we had no tv to watch. Breakfast was ok.

This was a great experience. It was a very cute hotel. They had a playground for the kids, a dog park for the dog, and a nice breakfast. The staff was fantastic and attentive. It was a great deal. The only downside is it’s near the expressway. So you do have expressway noise. But it was totally worth it. The overall experience was wonderful. I would definitely recommend this.
