“What strikes me is the consistent comfort and quiet delivered in the rooms, with beds that are clearly a standout. The ease of check-in, whether via app or code, is a modern touch, and the attached restaurant's prime rib is certainly worth noting for its quality, especially given the overall fair pricing. While the exterior could use attention, the internal experience, including pet-friendly patio options, makes it a practical and comfortable base.”
