Very clean and in a newly built building. Staff were welcoming. I appreciate being able to get one room for my family of 5 at an affordable price with a good hot breakfast included. My teenager slept on the pull out couch. The mattress looked thin but she had no complaints. Hot cocoa, tea, and coffee were always available in the lobby. The pool and hot tub were a great bonus. Near the highway but we didn’t notice noise from that, the hall, or neighboring rooms at all during our stay.

It was clean and in an amazing location. The only bummer is that the pool is sooo small. Like only 1 family can swim in it.

Front office staff were amazing and overly helpful. The room was very nice! ONLY suggestion would be air conditioner could’ve made the room cooler but we have kids like little heaters next to us in the bed so we need it exceptionally cool compared to most people. Absolutely wonderful though!

Lisa assisted us when checking in. She went above and beyond combining our reservations (we had made 2 separate ones) and without asking, she made sure our room was near another family member also staying there. Very helpful on another occasion as well. Very friendly staff. We will stay again!
