    Lauren · family with children · 2026-10-12

    “We appreciated the convenient location, as we chose the hotel because it was close to the hospital where our son had an appointment the following morning. It made our stay practical and less stressful, especially with a little one and an early start ahead of us. The hotel was a convenient option for our needs during our trip.”

  • We loved the location and the rooms were comfortable. The breakfast included was great value.
