The room was nice and updated, and very clean. The hotel is along a busy road, so the traffic noise was pretty bad, until 10:00ish. I wondered why they had packets with ear plugs in them, but then I figured it out. Would still consider staying there again though.

I’ve stayed at low cost and high cost places and never had the hotel personally reach out about my stay. I had a minor issue that was immediately taken care. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was super nice and helpful. The room was clean but the areas was abysmal. I didn’t feel safe for myself or my car. I tried contacting Expedia three times via chat and was told that I didn’t have a reservation. The hotel was willing to refund my money but because Expedia did not recognize that I had a reservation, I was unable to cancel through Expedia. Because expedia did not address my issue, the hotel was unable to refund my money.
