Great overnight stay!
I stayed one night as I was passing through the area. Love that they are pet friendly, have a dog run, and even gave my dog cookies upon arrival. The room was comfortable and clean. Parking was plentiful and lot was well-lit. Would recommend!

We loved this hotel! The room was spacious and beautiful with a very nice bathroom. It had a Kuerig for coffee or tea as well and included a hair dryer. There’s a wonderful restaurant just off the lobby called Wild Avocado which was a great surprise and very delicious for dinner. We had breakfast at Starbucks across the street. All in all a great experience. We’ll be back!
