Stayed one night for a dance competition. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were happy with our stay. The location was decent for what we needed and the parking lot was well lit. Breakfast was ok…decent choices and our daughters enjoyed the pool for a bit. Staff was nice.

Nice and clean. The tub I had in my room was slippery and I almost fell. The tubs definitely need skid proofing. My fridge didn’t have a freezer in it and wasn’t cold upon arrival, which was a bummer. Other than those two things, my room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the room was roomy, breakfast was hot and good and the staff is excellent!
