What I liked the most is room cleanness. However, the room was noisy at night. Secondary, the front desk people do not want to do extra work. For example, they are very good at check in and out process. Unfortunately, the answer is "I don't know", when questions are beyond the work coverage.

Upon entry, I was greeted by three people, which is absolutely amazing. The staff is so friendly and kind and they reminded me about breakfast in the morning when I was checking in for my room the day before I love that I was able to contact the front desk at any time. The staff is absolutely amazing. The hotel is beautiful and clean. I will most likely stay here again and recommend my friends to come here.

The building is clean and well maintained. Service competent and polite. Room was quiet, bed comfortable, showers hot, heater worked great- no reason to complain at all. Convenient access to major highways, restaurants, fuel but you don't hear the highway or the road. Parking area is well lit and has security cameras- 24/7 staff which is nice. I'd stay there again.
