Staff was friendly, room clean, breakfast was decent and what you would expect. My only complaint is the shower drain was clogged and it was obvious that there had been flooding since the bottom of the doors were lifting/peeling, but nothing that affected our stay. Overall a good spot.

I stayed at this hotel for my sister’s navy bootcamp graduation. It was only a few miles away, very convenient and there was a lot of outlets stores around, especially restaurants for late nite bites. Receptionists were really helpful with an early check in and a later check out! Loved the pool, and their free breakfast! They also offered a shuttle bus to the graduation!
