Staff were friendly, hotel was clean. Road noise could be a problem but I alway take earplugs to hotels. Bed was hard but ok to sleep on. Small problem was my husband is 6’4 and the sloping ceilings in the room and in the shower were too low for him to stand under. Receptionist should have had more thought when placing us in a room.

The staff are fantastic .. Paige on the front desk was just amazing. The hotel was very short staffed due to illnesses, so Paige had many hats! The hotel itself is clean, however it really does need to be decorated! There is a horrible smell of damp in the hallways and rooms! We had to move rooms due to a broken toilet!
