Staff was friendly, available for a last-minute and late check-in, room was clean and comfortable, and quiet/isolated from road noise. Could use a clearer sign for people turning in off the road, it's a bit hidden from view

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nice friendly staff hotel. Very Clean, modern, besd are good. Room amenities were nice, though could have used USB-C Plug Chargers over the USB-A. Walls are a little thin, so if next dior neighbor is a bit rowdy (kids etc) you can here them. I like the hotel was just far enough off the hwy so no traffic noise. Close to everything.
