The property is pet-friendly, offers express check-in/check-out, and provides wheelchair-accessible rooms with raised toilets and grab bars.

“The renovated rooms here are notably clean and comfortable, making for a welcome respite. I found the complimentary breakfast at the adjacent restaurant to be quite good, a pleasant start to the day. The hotel's fun, space-themed decor adds a distinctive character to the stay.”
