"The staff was exceptionally helpful. We were late to the check-in but they proactively reached out to help make things smooth. It turns out that I had overlooked their message through this website, but they were quick to accommodate me even though if was after their normal hours of operation. Upon arrival we found out that not all of their units are pet-friendly, but they also helped us shift from the originally booked unit to a pet-friendly alternative."

"On first impression the Hotel looks a bit like an old style Hotel that has seen better days. Once we were inside the room our opinions changed. the room looked freshly painted, the furnishings look relatively new and the room was very clean. Very impressive. If there was any complaint it is the road noise from the highway. The noise did die down later that night but regardless there was a lot of truck relatively late and early in the morning. Irrespective of the noise, we would stay again."
