The breakfast was absolutely amazing!! We loved having a full size frig in our room and the gym was hands down one of the best hotel gyms I've used. We didn't get to use it, but having access to free laundry facilities was also a great perk!!

The location of the hotel. Easy access to restaurants, and the parking was free and covered. We really enjoyed the shuttle to and from the soccer game. Made our first soccer game a stress free experience.

Mike & Allen have a beautiful home . The amenities, decor, landscaping and overall vibe of the property is outstanding.

    I was pleasantly surprised by how nice, clean, and up to date it was, considering how much I paid for the room. The price was super affordable and low cost. Way cheaper than some of the surrounding hotels. I will definitely come back. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful. I would recommend this amazing hotel to everyone.
