I arrived after a long day of driving to a cookie at check in and the most comfortable bed and pillows! The room was incredibly clean, sheets smelled wonderful, and there was a perfect little kitchenette. The location is very convenient but there was some road noise. Overall, so much attention to detail that was so appreciated after a week of travel.

Don’t stay here

Wasn’t as nice as it appeared in the picture. No air conditioning. Was informed after 2 days with no room service that we had to “sign up for daily room service when we booked the room”. Never heard of that before especially when booking a room for 5 days. We took the dirty towels to the office ourselves so they wouldn’t mildew (as well as the trash) and had them give us clean ones. It was also loud at night as it is in the middle of town.
