5/5 Excellent
"My son and I had an amazing stay at this hotel. The staff was the friendliest we have ever encountered, the bar was so fun, the drinks were strong and the prices great! We didn’t end up coming in until close to midnight, I didn’t realize that I booked just a double bed for my young adult son and myself so the gentleman that checked us in went out of his way to switch our rooms around to give us a room with 2 beds and it was HUGE! The room and bathroom was very clean, parking was easy, staff very accommodating, would recommend this hotel to everybody and cannot wait to come back! Thank you so much for making our trip so memorable!"
