The room was really big with lots of room to move around in my wheelchair. The staff were very friendly and helpful in every way. I stayed there for six nights and I truly felt like I was home away from home. Thank you!

The shower had the best water pressure of any hotel that I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life. I will go back to this place just so I can use that shower. It’s about 10 times better than my shower pressure at home and the water is soft. Everything else was great too. The room was clean. It was big and comfortable. Excellent place to stay.
