8/10 Good

"The front desk staff was amazing and extremely knowledgeable. My room was immaculate and the bed was cozy and comfortable. This was a very well managed hotel. Highly recommend."

Distill-Inn

8/10 Good

"One staff member stood out above the rest. Fernando was always there ready to help in a variety of situations. When we were in the bar area he dealt with rude guests that he handled very professionally. We never saw him stop, he was running constantly. Extremely good employee. They seem understaffed at night. The chairs in the breakfast area were extremely worn out, a lot of people had a hard time getting out of them because they sagged so much. Every thing else was fine, except when we checked out on Monday morning, there was a young man sleeping in the lobby that we later found out was the person that would check us out. That was quite unprofessional. Overall we would stay again."
