8/10 Very good

Trips to ID

Nice new hotel in the center of town. I did get a great rate but as a seasoned traveler I know that the lower rates are for rooms that have no view. I loved the hotel and was there for business so I was in and out so a view was not paramount.
Joseph, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Kind and professional staff!

On arrival I was greeted by a very helpful staff. Went over my parking spot that was close to our room as I was traveling in our large pickup. Just very courteous and kind. Easy walking distance to several restaurants. The entire complex is very modern and exceptionally clean and nice. We will be staying here again!
