Very friendly staff, very clean aside from a few spots in the bathroom but it looked like something stuck on the floor. Pillows flat, but to be expected as with any hotel (I usually bring my own). Perfect for a one night stay on the way to FL. Definitely recommend.

Everything was great when I got there Habi greeted me with a big smile and he was very attentive throughout the whole time. As soon as I got there I accidentally locked myself out of the room after spilling my drink all over myself so I was hanging out in the hallway soaking wet and I had to walk down to the lobby to get some help and he was more than accommodating to get me back into my room as soon as possible. Another one of the employees helped me to the end after I had to look through the whole entire garbage can after accidentally throwing something away on my tray that I really needed and valued. I'm not usually such a wreck but I had a couple mishaps and the staff was over the top with the amount of help they gave me and the politeness with which they did it. The room was clean. The temperature in the room was great and also adjustable. Parking was easy. Located around a bunch of other stores. I would definitely stay there again.

Very friendly staff, beautiful lobby, breakfast food were okay, though, fresh yogurt was yummy. Loved espresso machine. (Huge plus!) Room: clean but very cheaply remodeled. Especially shower area. (Fresh paint on the bottom but none are updated. No where to hang towel) TV was not connected to Internet so we couldn't watch anything. If you see the room closely, you could tell not professionally remodeled. But overall, it was good.
