Had a failure of an AirBnB and ended up needing a hotel for the weekend. Kimberly was awesome at getting us a room and helping out big time. Everyone loved the hotel and breakfast was good.

This place is always my favorite one to stay at. I stayed down in Bonita Springs Florida last night at a Holiday Inn express that could take lessons from this one for sure. Completely different experience. Room very clean bed very comfortable. Shower was awesome. Breakfast was great. Everything always is on point here. Great stay!

Kimberly was wonderful. When I had such a long travel day and everything went wrong. To have someone smile and take care of me and help me end the day was great. Thank you

We were impressed by the cleanliness of every area we accessed. The staff was very friendly and helpful and even though we were late for breakfast, there was a good variety for us and the woman working there asked if we wanted anything else before she closed it up. Plus, it was close to 75.
