We love staying here. It is quiet and very very clean. Love that breakfast items are out in the evenings and all night. I have diabetes and sometimes crash at odd times. There is always bananas and yogurt available for me. The town and surrounding areas are also quiet and safe for a walk.

Clean and well maintained hotel. Loved our stay. I was a little disappointed because the hot tub was broke and they upgraded my room to one with a hot tub without me even asking. We had just gone to the World Cup in Kansas City the day before and I really needed a hot tub. Thank you so much. It was greatly appreciated.

"The property, staff and cleanliness were amazing. The tv remote didn’t work correct in two of the three rooms we had. Don’t let the fact the property isn’t a new hotel scare you. I’d fully recommend this hotel especially for the price."
