The receptionist was extra kind. We are right very late at night and greeted us with a big smile. Checking process was easy and quick. The atmosphere was warm and cozy.

This is place is pretty new. The rooms are beautiful. The staff was very helpful and the wifi internet worked well. They include breakfast in the morning and it's a very nice meal. A lot of fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, fresh cheese omlets and even a waffle maker.
For the price it can't be beat and compares well with many more expensive.
There is a Texas Roadhouse restaurant right next door!

The rooms were spacious, clean, and had all that we needed. The breakfast was good and the staff worked very hard to keep up with refills of everything. The room was almost full and they did a great job.

Very clean. Staff were extremely nice . They offered free water which was a great touch . Only odd thing was none of the walls had any pictures on them.

The room was clean and comfortable. I love that they use Dove brand products for their toiletries! The pool was a comfortable temperature, and the breakfast was just right. The people at the front desk (both night shift and morning shift) were pleasant, kind, and helpful. The one weird thing was that there was no phone in the room to call the front desk, but that wasn't a big deal.

King size bed was clean and comfortable. Two small caveats: one, you do have to climb quite a long stairway; two, while the...
