Very cute hotel, clean in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Close to the highway with an onsite restaurant. Parking was very limited because of the graduation and the room was nice, but not like the photos - we expected a bigger room with a small kitchen. We did have a microwave and little fridge so it all worked out, having the little onsite restaurant was perfect! The shower water pressure was excellent and the staff gave us extra towels so we loved that, the products in the shower were also good quality! Really appreciated the wonderful staff service and coffees in the lobby! Would book here again and highly recommend. Value for money.

The hotel was nice enough. The only issue I had was the bed was very uncomfortable. My back didn’t tolerate it very well and my husband and I both were being slid into the middle of the bed. Other than that it was fine and I would probably stay there again. The staff was very nice.
