My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The room was neat and quiet, plus they had snacks inside, and the fridge was working which was a great bonus. However, the room was tiny and noisy, and the window was covered by filthy plastic. The room definitely needed an upgrade and the bathroom was very dated.

My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The room was super cute and squeaky clean, although the bathroom was small but kept tidy. The location was perfect for me to stay close to my Dad at the VA hospital. The service was mostly helpful and courteous, though there was a slight issue with rudeness during a late-night check-out. The dining experience was simple but enough for a quick bite. Overall, a great place to stay!

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were modern, clean, and cozy, though the lack of carpet made footsteps noisy. The service was a mix of accommodating kindness and some unfriendliness. The location was perfect for my needs, quiet with easy access to amenities. The dining was simple and a bit underwhelming. Overall, a decent option with a few drawbacks to consider.
