I had a girl’s night with my three young daughters and it was great! We had the first room on the first floor, close to everything but specifically the pool and breakfast. The entry into our room fit our wagon (to haul all the things) perfectly. My only wish was that the pool was warmer, my kiddos might have wanted to use it more. Thanks for a nice, quick trip!

The people are very nice and helpful. My son has tree nut allergy and staff was very knowledgeable and helpful with his food. Also have animal allergy so they gave us a room where animals are not allowed to stay. Excellent. Highly recommend.

Property was clean. Treadmill in gym made horrible, loud noises. Staff was very slow to replace a serving utensil dropped on the floor during breakfast. No bag for dirty clothes in the room. Shower control was not intuitive on how to use.

Basketball Weekend

I had a very nice stay here, the bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. I did not use the pool or hot tub. It was quiet at night, and I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. The location was convenient to where I wanted to go, although they just started a big construction project on I-27, so that might change. I would definitely stay here again if I’m in the area. Also, checking in and out was very efficient, which I appreciate.

Overall a good hotel, horrible breakfast attendant

Overall a nice hotel. Our room was clean, the man at guest services was friendly upon check in. My main complaint was the breakfast attendant. She was extremely rude to every single person that walked in for breakfast. She also chatted with the front desk lady for a long time while all of the hot food was mostly gone are completely gone.
