Every single staff member we spoke with or had any interaction with was friendly, kind, and helpful. They were quick with extra-anything we needed. We appreciated the option to reduce our carbon footprint with less room cleaning during our stay, and the front desk was always happy to give us extra towels, as needed. The building was clean and comfortable. The rooms were clean. 100% would stay here again.

Wolfgang, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a surprise this hotel was. We normally stay at the Hamptons off of I-75 but at $175 a night forced us to look elsewhere and luckily this popped up. Cheaper and better, and one of the better breakfasts included if your into that. This hotel adds about 10-15 minutes to our drive but is totally worth it.
