8.6/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)
This was a wonderful stay! The beds and bathroom were clean and comfortable. One of the biggest things that can ruin a stay is an unpleasant smell — but not here! There was absolutely no bad odor anywhere in the hotel. Everything was so clean, it’s honestly hard to find anything to complain about! 😄 Breakfast was also a pleasant surprise — very diverse with options like omelets, crispy bacon, hash browns, toast, oatmeal etc. If I ever need to stay in this area again, I will definitely choose this hotel. Highly recommend! 10/10
