I had a great experience at this hotel! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. It wasn’t just one person that was friendly, it was every staff member that we talked to. Marisol was so friendly at check in and gave us great information. I was traveling with older family members and one of the staff (I didn’t get his name) actually came to the room to help when they had questions about the coffee maker. It was a small thing that probably could have been handled on the phone, but the man took the time to actually show them how to use it. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone who asked.

Very basic accommodations…clean. We wanted a place to sleep, nothing extravagant and this fit the bill. Room was fine except AC was very noisy and I did not sleep so that was a negative. The cost was the best feature…it was very reasonable at 129.00/night. Also the staff was amazingly friendly.
