Every staff member we interacted with was very friendly. The rooms are what you typically expect for the price point. We definitely prefer staying here than a Motel 6 or similar.

The room was very clean and had a cute, eclectic, hippy-inspired vibe. Wi-Fi was easy to access, though it was occasionally inconsistent—possibly due to our room being located toward the back. The environment was peaceful and quiet, and the staff provided excellent service throughout our stay.
