What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“We had a very nice stay. Rooms are comfortable and clean. There is a nice walking/ biking trail nearby. In walking distance. The staff is very nice and attentive. We plan to stay here again when in the area. Oh, they have a great continental breakfast also.”
“We had an amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, every single staff member—from check-in to housekeeping to the sweet lady running breakfast—was incredibly kind and welcoming. You can truly tell they care about their guests, and everyone went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. We stayed for 2 nights, and even got the added bonus of an early check-in, which made everything start off even better. The hotel smelled so clean the entire time, and it was clear housekeeping takes pride in their work—I constantly saw them out keeping everything spotless. Another huge plus was the location. Being within walking distance to great restaurants made it so convenient, and there really was something for everyone. We can’t wait to come back in July!”
“Check in was crazy! Me and my partner were greeted with a rude dismissive attitude from todd. Very condescending!!! The only thing sticks out was the "breakfast potatos" the were delicious...the breakfast attendant Shannon was on point! She said she made them. So good!!!!! The room was clean and the vibe was chill!!”
