Great owners, the parking lot is a bit of a mess with construction but they apologize for what is out of their control. Affordable and along the main path.
What I loved about staying here with my husband was how comfortable the room was. We called ahead of time to reserve a room. I was so happy to see they turned the AC on for us before we had arrived. So thankful as temperatures were up in the mid 30's. The room was super clean, and the mattress was very comfy. The room looked like it had recently been renovated. Painted chairs, new carpet, fresh paint on the walls. No stains anywhere! We loved that they had chairs outside every room so you had the option to sit outside if you wanted. The front staff were amazing too. They provided use with ice and water bottles upon arrival. We stayed for 3 days. and everyday, the housekeeper would come and replenish our towels and ask if we needed anything. The staff are so caring to the needs of their customers. It made it really feel like a home away from home. We loved staying here and can't wait to come back!
The hotel was affordable, it smelled clean when we walked in, and the customer service was better than any of the large chain hotels. Super sweet lady, always polite and smiling, very helpful and genuine. Exceeded expectations by far!
