My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The spacious rooms were comfortable and provided good value, but the overall service was lacking, with some staff members being unhelpful and rude. While the location was decent for quick access to local attractions, the dining experience was a letdown as options were often unavailable. Overall, I would suggest considering other options for a more pleasant stay.

The hotel has a convenient location near the highway, which is beneficial for travelers. The staff is friendly and accommodating, but the overall experience was not as pleasant due to maintenance issues in the room, including chirping smoke detectors and an odor from a room freshener that was overpowering. Given these issues, I wouldn't say it was the best stay but there were some redeeming qualities.
