Wonderful experience! Everything was very clean and the space was comfortable. The design utilized the space well, offering amenities like a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker that allowed us to fix some simple meals in the room. Everything was updated and the beds were very comfortable, which was important to me as I have back issues. Everyone we dealt with was so friendly and helpful. I look forward to our next stay!

It was a comfortable and clean hotel and very convenient to anywhere we wanted to go. My only complaints would be that it is 2 buildings that are a good 2 blocks apart with a busy road and a gas station between the 2. The only ice machine is in the other building, so you have to drive to get ice. Also, checking in can be a little confusing, due to it being at the one building. They try to explain it, but it's a rather odd setup. Also, it was difficult to find a local channel and no guide. But really, it was a comfortable stay and I would stay again.

Comfortable bed. We stayed in the older hotel and if you wanted ice you had to go about a block away to the newer hotel to get it 😧. The price was ridiculously high for what I would say was a very nice 2 star hotel.

The room was fine... clean and a decent size. It was very loud both above us and outside in the parking lot as you can hear pretty much everything going on in the rooms around you. I think we must've had a herd of elephants in the room above us or they were rearranging the furniture all night lol. I'm not one to complain, but even for me it was a bit much. Paid for an upgraded room that I thought was upstairs, management didn't care but Expedia made it right. Overall we got what we paid for I guess.
