Nice but noisy
Walls are very thin. You could hear ever step the person in the room took. The rooms are very small. Almost like a cruise ship. Other than that the staff was very nice and the hotel was clean. The bed was comfortable

Good experience. Room was clean. Staff friendly. Breakfast had a good selection. Only thing I would suggest is to have a microwave in the room.

We stayed at this property before, and we always return. The room was clean and comfortable. The housekeeping staff kept our room clean. The desk staff and breakfast attendant were friendly, helpful, and always on top of things.

Clean, New Hotel with Hospitable Staff
Appears to be a brand new, very clean hotel. Yolanda was great--personable, polite, and knowledgable--at check-in. While there might not be a microwave or coffeemaker in the room (that makes it a bit more eco-friendly), there is a small fridge and the coffee is made fresh for each cup and that is a nice surprise. The room is very nice though a queen bed should be the largest in this room. I would highly recommend staying here as it is nice, quiet (unless you don't like highway traffic), clean, and pleasant.
