The location, spacious rooms, and accommodating staff were definite highlights. The two young ladies at the front Desk Dominique and Angulika made me feel safe and comfortable. The housekeeping did they thing on rooms very clean and smelled fresh I stayed here before and would continue to stay every time I'm in town. I would rate this hotel a 10/10.
Have been here for a while now great staff wonderful front desk energy every day
Management is amazing at this property. She ensures her team takes care of the guest.
I truly am enjoying my stay. It is very quiet and peaceful no problems no issues. Everything is clean but the main thing is the management. The lady that runs this hotel is one of the most outstanding human beings I have ever met. She is nice and polite helpful in every way, and I truly believe she would do anything to help anybody. you don’t come across people like her very much. She is one of the best managers I have ever seen.
Very good kitchenette setup and Very comfortable atmosphere. House cleaning services need to be more often and for the money they should take care of garbage disposal and linen every 2 days, instead of room occupant having to take care of it...
My time here was quiet and cozy. Angelique (the manager) is very sweet, made me feel at home during my stay here.
I'm glad I got the opportunity to stay at this hotel again....I will be making this the hotel I used mynevery visit. From the time i check in till I checked out i had a good experience. Your GSR Dominique is amazing always smiling always trying to help she is very good at her job. She made sure when I checked in everything went smooth and my stay was perfect. Upon checking out her and her GM made sure everything went smooth and I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family if they ever in the area. 10/10
They have the sweetest General Manager, I believe her name is Angulika she has the most adorable accent. Check in was a breeze. The rooms were clean. There is not a complaint I can think of. If you’re looking for somewhere to put yourself up for a minute this is it.
