I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and comfortable, but the service I encountered was frustrating, especially during check-in. While the hotel's location suited our sightseeing plans, it did feel somewhat isolated. Dining options were hit or miss, with dinner being enjoyable but breakfast leaving much to be desired.

The room was almost double the size of a standard motel with a cozy sitting area, and it had a double sink which was convenient.
