Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Cleanliness
The hotel was comfortable, breakfast was good, and staff were friendly. The downside was that housekeeping never cleaned our room one of the days/nights we were there, so we had to go to the desk and ask for towels, and figure out where to take trash.
Great hotel. Always clean. Staff are super helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Breakfast is great. Coffee is 24/7 and it is actually very good coffee. Convenient location. Lots of parking.
I had a fourth-floor room that was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. I appreciated the coffee and tea available all the time in the lobby. Breakfast was good. All in all I was very satisfied and would happily return.
We absolutely loved our stay here, everything was fantastic, including especially breakfast the next day! Great facility, great value, what more could you ask for?
Hats off to your Front Desk Associate, Jason. Polite, professional and a delightful sense of humor. Our room was comfortable, facility was clean exceeded our expectations. Enjoyed buffet breakfast. Will return next time we visit family in the area.
