We really enjoyed our stay here. The staff were kind, smiling, and always helpful. Breakfast is good, different every day. Free coffee 27/7. You do have to pay for parking, the only, and I mean ONLY con, is there’s a small motel right in front of the property and is ran down. Comes with the expected guest. But loved staying here. 9 mins from everything, no matter the direction you go.

Had some maintenance issues that needed resolution and was happy with the hotel's response. The towels were not in as good of condition as when I've previously stayed here and there was mold in the sink hole where the water goes. However, the bed was comfortable and the coffee good.

Do not stay at this hotel poorly maintained.

We were there on a family trip one of our rooms the air conditioner didn’t work told the front desk they sent maintenance up pretty much asked what they should do about it. Carpet was peeled back away from wall like there had been water damage in the same room. Couldn’t get an hold of manager on duty. Elevator malfunctions dropped multiple times with my daughter and grandkids in there told the front desk. They pretty much said we put too many people in the elevator that’s why it slipped and fell nobody was hurt other than kids being traumatized, thinking they were gonna die. There was a sign inside the elevator saying only six people, but you couldn’t see it until after getting on elevator by that time other people had gotten on the elevator door had shut. inspection had been out of date almost for 9 months on the elevator until March of this year. Told the front desk about all of this and nothing was done.

Nice stay.

Wonderful stay. Clean building, parking lot, and room. Breakfast was good. The pool is heated and the kids loved it. Comfortable lounge areas near the pool and in the lobby. The only thing I didn’t appreciate was that we had booked a suite the was supposed to have three beds and two areas were given a room with two beds and a pull out sofa. The kids still thought it was cool.

The property is nice and kept clean, with spacious rooms and a courteous and helpful staff. The breakfast was good, with a nice selection of items and good coffee, although they had no half and half today, so that was an issue. However, my main issue was the bed, which was way too firm and caused me back and neck pain, so be warned if you don't like extra firm beds.
