10/10 Exceptional

I recently moved to the Johnston area and stayed here 8 nights while waiting for my new place to be ready to move in. The entire place was clean, the room was spacious and quiet. Every staff member I came across was helpful and friendly. The cleaning staff made sure I had everything i needed and they all were very sweet! The only thing i would say needs work is the breakfast. Not many options to choose from but it was always hot/fresh and did its job! I would definitely stay here again and it will be my top recommendation when family and friends come to visit!

The hotel was very quiet with clean, spacious rooms. The breakfast was not very good. We would definitely stay at this hotel again as the hotel was great, easy to walk to restaurants and grocery stores, and a nice walking path across the street.
