"Great place to stay"

My husband has a drum herna band and we frequently travel for shows. It's very important for us to know that we have a safe place to come back and rest our head after a long day of traveling and performing. Clean rooms with no bugs and our music equipment is always safe in our vehicles while we're sleeping. The coffee is hot and delicious and the breakfast is excellent. Staff is always on point in the newly remodeled rooms are excellent. I highly recommend when you're in the area it's a great place to stay.

"Clean, Great Staff"

Good Review. Everything was clean, the employees were great (Beth was so helpful and cheerful) and we enjoyed our visit. The only problem was that a truck was parked outside of our window with the generator running most of the evening and night.
