You won’t be disappointed
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and I appreciated the breakfast options, which included cereal, yogurt, bakery items, waffles, coffee, and both apple and orange juice. It was a great way to save on breakfast costs. Special shoutout to the manager, Amber, who is super friendly and really makes sure your stay is pleasant. I’ll definitely be staying here again! Oh and they provide shuttle to the airport !!

Room with outside entrance- lot/homes across street attracted people all night arguing, loud talking. We felt unsafe and thought extra security locks on outside doors would be a good idea
