This hotel chain has always been one of our favorites. The room is very clean, bed is very comfy, bathroom is super clean! The front desk staff is friendly. They have a bathtub-shower combo which is our first priority to look for in a hotel. They even provide dental kit and other personal items upon request. And they have room service too.

Was convenient for our one night stay. Clean and cozy. We had a conjoined door which made it easy to hear guests next door. Our tv didn’t work at all and it took us a good hour to get the heater to work right.
