Come here first!
This place is awesome. Very clean rooms and super plush beds. Property is immaculate and maintained daily. Front desk is extremely welcoming. All staff working here have been professional and friendly. There is a dog park on site to let your dogs run around! Hot tub and pool are also well maintained. They even have coin laundry available which is a huge bonus. Rooms are affordable too. Property is very safe with no rowdy construction workers or drug dealers partying in the parking lot like the other hotels nearby. Will be my first choice when staying in the area.
