Idk why this hotel isn’t rated better. The suite option was very helpful for helping us sleep our little children. The two front desk ladies that were on staff when we stayed were very helpful and kind. One helped us a lot with parking our truck with a trailer on it. She noticed and just took it upon herself to suggest where we could park when she saw we parked far away with our babies. Very sweet. And another helped us get into our room when we got locked out. It was clean, kitchen had what we needed and bathroom had everything we needed. We slept very comfortably.

The hotel was pretty good—absolutely no complaints. Everything was clean, comfortable, and exactly what I needed for my stay. No noise issues, no maintenance problems, no surprises. Just a solid, stress-free experience all around.
Would definitely stay here again.

We had a queen room and when I checked in, they asked if I wanted a king. I said sure. No one told me it was almost 50% more. A/C was substandard and non-smoking room sure didn't smell that way
