Front desk staff were very friendly and efficient when checking us in, breakfast was filling with a good selection to choose from. Our room was clean with plenty of towels. Our only complaint- pillows were too soft. Overall, a good experience.
Needed a room for my disabled sister for the Thanksgiving holiday. She had another great stay. Check in took under 5 minutes, the room was clean and comfy and quiet. It was another great stay. Thanks!
We requested a refund and did not stay. The rooms were musty, furniture was busted, watermarks on the walls and just overall gross. The pictures presented on the website are definitely misleading. However, the staff was helpful in assisting with the refund.
My room had a terrible chemical smell and the property smelled like pot. The property is run down and the rooms are filthy. The staff awesome and friendly and belong at a five-star hotel.
I love this hotel, good location and the personnel very friendly. I really recommend this hotel, my family enjoyed the stay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
I stayed almost a week between a regular room and a suite. There are small things that need repair a vent in the ceiling not properly mounted a leaking something inside a locked closet, but, the beds are comfortable, the breakfast is good, a short drive to pretty much everything. Overall great stay.
a little worn in, needs a fresh coat of paint, attention to detail on the trim and the edges, understand not very window will have a great view, but if you look out and see random unbagged trash........... meh. the pool was great, breakfast was fine, price and location good. overall it fit my needs. thanks
