Was a last minute emergency pick for a hotel and we got what we paid for. I’m glad they’re around for that kind of situation.

After a full day of driving and sightseeing, arriving here felt like a break within the trip — the kind of place that resets your energy rather than just giving you a bed.

Quite easy to find a late dinner nearby — lots of food options within walking distance, and we didn’t have to get back in the car after checking in, which was great.

It’s nice to have shops and restaurants nearby without sacrificing peace and quiet. We had everything we needed close by, but the room stayed calm and undisturbed through the night.

After hours on the road, all we wanted was a hot shower, quiet space, and a soft bed — this place nailed them all. Also, there was even a microwave and fridge that helped us make late snacks easy.

Fantastic. You can literally walk out and hit three types of cuisine within few minutes — buffet, BBQ, and a bakery. And the lobby design makes it easy to come and go quickly, which I really appreciated.

Even though it’s near a main road, the room feels quiet and comfortable through the night. We both fell asleep quickly — which says a lot after hours on the road.
