"Not the fanciest hotel but close to the friendliest we’ve been to. The manager was very kind, remembered our names the whole visit, was attentive to needs and even brought candy for the kids one night when we were all playing games in the common area. Great free breakfast, clean and cozy rooms and a nice location."

"Staff was amazing and super helpful, the hotel we stayed at was a “sister” hotel of the Cavalier, not bad for the price. The property itself is a bit outdated, outlets were broken & loose making it hard to charge any electronics, but the plus is being a sister facility you are able to utilize all of the amenities of the Cavalier hotel as well."
