We are having an extended stay and every morning Karen happily greets us and makes us feel welcome. She has become a friend during a trying time. We look forward talking with her everyday.

I think we all know why I'm leaving a 5 star review; Karen. She is the staff who crafts the complimentary breakfast, she is a very kind lady and based on what I saw and what I heard from her and her interactions with guests she genuinely cares about what she does, and she does it well.
The hotel was nice and definitely one of the nicer franchise hotels I have stayed at. The staff here stand out above the rest.

Great central location close to interstate. Breakfast was great and server went out of her way to ensure we enjoyed the free breakfast experience. Bed was comfortable. I have a bad back and that means a lot.

Great hotel and Karen was the best during breakfast. She was very attentive and made sure all food was fresh and hot. And I have a son with autism and she went out of her way to get him a coloring book, take him to the Christmas tree where she let him pick out his own candy canes and made his day.
