Amenities such as the pool/jacuzzi and free breakfast were amazing. Breakfast was great, opened early at 6am with lots of options. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, they even gave us freshly baked cookies upon arrival! Nice little treat (especially for our kids).

The room was nice and quiet and we loved that the day we used the pool and hot tub no one was there so we were able to enjoy ourselves. Also the fact that the pool was heated was so nice! The staff was very friendly, would definitely stay there again.

This was my second time here (both short stays) and I've been happy both times. It's clean, the staff is friendly and helpful, and it just seems like a solid, well-run place. I appreciated that the internet was stable enough for me to take some work video calls. I liked having the water bottle refilling station downstairs.

I wish I could remember the man’s name that checked us in last night, he was a super nice man. We didn't get there until after midnight and he was so nice and welcoming after a long day. He was friendly and efficient. He offered us water and made sure we knew that if we forgot toothbrushes or anything to let him know. He was super nice and a great person to run the front desk as he was very welcoming and sweet.
