The hotel was very clean. It’s advertised as family friend and it was, the free arcade and games was perfect for my kids but unfortunately the room was very small for a family. I was also not aware I would have to pay extra $20 for parking and $30 for amenities which are usually included in the price of the room, anyhow breakfast was part of the extra charge and their “continental breakfast” was horrible! I hade stayed at a holiday inn the night previous and they had an amazing spread compared to this place that had muffins cereal and milk… anyways I would not recommend.

Although the staff is great, check in was great , the primary reason i booked the hotel was availability of EV charger but after reaching there, i realized that they just have 2 out which 1 was occupied and the other one was not working. So the whole point of booking a hotel with EV charging was moot. I could have stayed some place else with cheaper rates and similar amenities.
