Room was clean for the most part. Found a couple hairs here and there but nothing too bad. The staff was very nice and helpful. It was close to everything so you could just walk instead driving. The only issue we had with our room was we could hear everyone and everything outside our door. We heard guest talking as they were going to their rooms and heard house keeping talking outside the rooms early in the morning. It didn’t get quiet until around midnight. Other than that it wasn’t a bad place.

The check in was fast and friendly, got our vouchers for breakfast. Parking was a little crazy. Not a very big parking lot for the hotel. We had to park all the way out by the road and walk back to our room. The room was nice, clean and big. But needs to be better sound proofing. Could hear EVERYTHING going on outside. Could see light coming through the crack in the door.
