Great home away from home!
Very clean, and refreshed daily. Large shower. Great space to be in away from home.
Being able to check in after midnight was a great relief since we were not able to leave until after work.

Wonderful and welcoming hotel!!
We were greeted warmly by the staff and made to feel at home. The hotel was very clean, well maintained and quiet. Our room was very nice! It was clean, well furnished and very comfortable. We arrived Friday evening and stayed the weekend, leaving out on Sunday. Loved the noon checkout by the way! No need to rush, which was so nice for a change. We will definitely be back to stay! If you desire quality and comfort at an affordable price, I highly recommend this hotel!!

The front desk staff was friendly at night and in the morning. Food was fresh and hot. The room was very clean and I loved the shower set up as well as the luggage rack/table. Sheets/bedding were very clean.

Stayed for the UA vs WKU game and the staff were super friendly with their rivalry banter. The property was very clean, safe, and quiet. Would definitely stay there again if we visit in the future.
