9.6/10 Exceptional! (67 reviews)
The king suite room was beautifully appointed, very clean and comfortable. The staff was nice and helpful. The location felt random when we first got to town, but after driving around the next day, I realized it’s super close to lots of restaurants and shopping. We had no issue with street parking. The entryway felt very awkward. Maybe some background music would help the space feel more welcoming and less weird? The walls are also very thin. We had a very loud neighbor and couldn’t sleep. You also hear everything out in the hall. If it weren’t for the noise, I would have no hesitation in recommending this place.
