9.2/10 Wonderful! (25 reviews)
I absolutely love this place! It’s always clean, the beds are super comfortable, and the staff is incredibly helpful. Parking is easy, and the restaurant is conveniently located within the hotel. Two tips: book through Expedia to save, and if you’re allergic to animals, be sure to let the attendant know. Usually, all guests with animals are on level 1, but on one of my stays, there was a guest with an animal on level 2. Other than that, it’s a perfect 10/10!
