Family visit
We’ve stayed here multiple times. Love the location, close to family. Wish they wouldn’t charge for parking. That’s part of the reason of staying away from the big city. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Our room smelled like urine but couldn’t put my finger on the smell until the middle of the night. Never asked to switch rooms. Too tired.

Liked this hotel a lot
Really liked this hotel. Clean, fresh, convenient. The only "negative" is that it's on a hill out back which makes it hard to climb if handicapped.

Recommend this hotel
We were very pleased with the room - king bed and couch. The lighting could have been better but we had lights on both sides of the bed so it worked alright. The staff were all very good. We met a few of them over 4 days and they were all helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed the breakfast selections - everything we wanted. The staff in the breakfast area were great - friendly, keeping items stocked, cleaning - always available. Housekeeping also took care of us when needed. Also, we the location was very good for us and the highway noise did not affect our sleep. The $10/night charge for parking was alright because the overall cost was very good for what we received.
