It’s a good fit for families and small groups who want space to spread out, with non-smoking rooms and family rooms that make day-to-day logistics easier. Guests often mention how helpful the express check-in/check-out feels when you’re arriving after a drive, and how the safety deposit box adds peace of mind for passports and valuables.
