"My favorite hotel. Wish there were more of these around. Clean, really comfortable beds, has great kitchen area ( I hate the price of eating out), dog fee and room price very reasonable, parking easy, nice size king room with table and 2 chairs and recliner. Everything I want in a hotel room. Even really helpful, friendly staff. Great job!"
