Nice looking exterior, with a modern but simple interior. Enjoyed the comfortable bed, the 55 inch tv, and the great water pressure, in the shower. Looking forward to me next stay at this location.

Communication
We were traveling from we hours away and were arriving later than planned. I tried several times to call directly to the hotel to make them aware of this so they didn’t cancel our reservation. The phone just rang and rang and nobody ever picked up so I went through their site to message someone and never got a reply. We get to the hotel and give them our name and was asked if it was under another name (which it wasn’t) and the other person working said “oh, that’s the one we cancelled because you hadn’t checked in”. I told them I tried to call the number listed online several times to let them know we were arriving late. She said we have had several people say they call and it just rings but we pick up. So I’m not sure what the issue was. But thankfully they had our room still available. The hotel is termed a “ no-frills” hotel. They do not have a continental breakfast but they have what’s called grab and go. Breakfast sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, bagels etc

Limited entrance to the property depending on which way you coming from you always have to make a U-turn coming to it or leaving. Also, it’s not a good look for the staff member to be out in the parking lot drinking alcohol with their significant others.
