Nice place
New place. Looked very nice. Didn’t have a ton of rooms which made it less busy. Could hear people talking at times. Bed was firm. Spacious bathroom. Great kitchen area in room. Not a lot of parking right out from (all handicapped)- had to park on side of building. Friendly staff. Had a few packaged food items could grab for breakfast. Would stay here again.

The room I had was like a bachelor apartment, with kitchen, medium sized fridge and lots of room. Very clean and newish room. It's not near downtown or the water but it was also much cheaper than the alternatives. The nearby Walmart was good for stocking up.

What I didn't like was that we were on the 2nd floor and had to lug suitcases/cooler up the stairs, It was hard for me to help my husband as I have a bad leg. What I did like about it was that on the 2nd floor there's no pets allowed. I don't think pets belong in hotels unless they're service dogs. (just my opinion)

Great place to stay!
Great place that is a suite with full kitchen, dishes. Very clean. Best part they have a black washcloth for removing your make up. I felt bad using the white ones.

Room was clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom had higher vanity than most hotels which my back appreciates! Only drawback was finding space in bathtub for soap and shampoo as there wasn't a soap tray.
