Comfortable for a couple nights
The room was large and clean, beds and pillows comfortable. The water pressure was adequate. The laundry facilities were not available during our two day stay.

Happy with my stay.
I was pleasantly surprised as to how nice our room was. It was very clean, smelled good and we couldn’t hear the traffic. The beds were comfy, pillows were meh. The pool looked nice. The people at the front desk were kind. I’d definitely stay here again.
