The staff was great especially Annett. Her bubbly personality was contagious and most of the guests were caught up in her Spirit the food was very good and Annett was on the ball making sure every guest was well fed and enjoyed there time down there just engaged in conversation. I have been to a lot of hotels in my years but have never experienced a breakfast time where we felt open to just have a conversation with people we have never met being open to share experiences with other guest that were willing to open up.All because of Annett and her contagious Spirit. We have a Son and his family that live nearby and when we come to visit we will stay stay here in the future if only to have breakfast with Annett. Don't ever loose her and make sure you pay her well. She is a gem and I believe its because she is real deal when it comes to representing Yeshua Jesus and His love for all of us.
This is a picture of Annett with my wife Sandy and I and Christopher antis family from various places that stayed here as well.

This is THE BEST place to stay in the area. SUPER clean and new. As soon as you walk into check in you feel hospitality from the free snacks and beverages offered to the ready made coffee on hand. Games and Movies in the lobby for the kids and the pool was open until 10 pm which is much needed at the end of a long day or ride. There’s a shower in the pool area to wash up before and after your swim. A large changing area and bathroom in the pool as well. 24 hr gym and office space with a printer available for those who still have work to do. The rooms smelled good and they were very clean. I’ve stayed in just about every Hotel in the area before I discovered this one and after my stay I was certain this would be the only hotel I stay in when I have to come back to the area.

Our second stop at a Tru by Hilton. Very comfortable room and the bed was very comfortable/firm. Breakfast was perfect temperature and the food area was spacious and clean. Annette should be a trainer for the entire chain! She was genuine and welcoming. It takes a very special person to greet people and make them feel good. She really accomplished that!

Great property. Very safe and clean. One star removed because for 2 days there was no cream for the coffee. Once the very nice lady was working, she took care of it, but 2 days having to go elsewhere for coffee is ridiculous

THE STAFF - Annette and T (I think - morning staff) was phenomenal! Made our mornings so special. Helped us when we needed an early breakfast before heading out. Went way beyond the call of duty. Didn't like the fact that there was no closet. There was 6 coat hangers and several wall knobs for clothes to hang which was ok but would prefer a little different.
