Had to wait til after 3 pm for a room but check was nice after that. Everything was very clean. Great location to walk to colonial life area. Unfortunately the bed was very soft and lumpy, but breakfast was great.

Room was clean. Staff was friendly. I wish they would’ve advised that they don’t refresh towels daily or make up the beds. That was the only thing lacking. Bed was comfortable.

⭐ 5‑Star Hotel Review I had an excellent stay, and I have to give special recognition to Genesis at the front desk. From the moment I arrived, she set the tone for a great experience welcoming, professional, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and her positive attitude made me feel truly taken care of. The room was clean and comfortable, the amenities were great, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing. But honestly, Genesis is what made this stay stand out. Exceptional customer service like hers is rare, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend this hotel, and an extra thank‑you to Genesis for making my visit memorable. Thanks Stephanie P
