Communication
We were traveling from we hours away and were arriving later than planned. I tried several times to call directly to the hotel to make them aware of this so they didn’t cancel our reservation. The phone just rang and rang and nobody ever picked up so I went through their site to message someone and never got a reply. We get to the hotel and give them our name and was asked if it was under another name (which it wasn’t) and the other person working said “oh, that’s the one we cancelled because you hadn’t checked in”. I told them I tried to call the number listed online several times to let them know we were arriving late. She said we have had several people say they call and it just rings but we pick up. So I’m not sure what the issue was. But thankfully they had our room still available. The hotel is termed a “ no-frills” hotel. They do not have a continental breakfast but they have what’s called grab and go. Breakfast sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, bagels etc

Limited entrance to the property depending on which way you coming from you always have to make a U-turn coming to it or leaving. Also, it’s not a good look for the staff member to be out in the parking lot drinking alcohol with their significant others.

One Nighter
Clealniless was a plus but I saw a few roaces in the room. Plus I was taken aback in that theirs no accessible microwave in the room. As for the continental breakfast nothing to brag about. In my opinion not work the extra money in that the rooms are paper thin. Outside road noise and the individuals above us were a bit unnerving.

Nothing bad about the property but it can be very confusing with the road you have to turn on to get there. So be mindful of the turn or you will turn on the ramp to the highway.

Great hotel 5 stars
Great hotel; very comfortable & clean. Light breakfast (mostly continental) available. Shower is very nice. The price is great too, it’s a fairly new property, so hopefully they will keep it up. 5⭐️ Would definitely stay here again.
