I loved being able to book a 2 bedroom suite. The room seemed freshly remodeled. The overall look of the lobby, hallways and suite was impressive. Unfortunately, there was definitely a lack of attention to some details. In the freshly tiled bathroom, there was leftover grout all over the tiles. There were no hooks or a towel bar in the bathroom or sink area. The bed was very comfortable but the sheets were scratchy. The breakfast was decent. The front desk staff was amazing! For what we paid, I would recommend this hotel, even knowing that some things still need improving.
We had a good stay with clean room and warm room. Would stay there again. Very nice breakfast.

Our check-in was quick and easy. I think the hotel is undergoing renovations. The beds were comfortable, but the bathroom needs some attention. The carpet was ripped up and I stepped on the carpet staple. The bathtub had a large rust spot. Overall the hotel is fine, just dated.
Really great staff, very clean, great amenities, great price and a comfortable and quiet room.

The hotel is definitely older. The rooms were super spacious and tge full kitchen was a big plus! The hot tub is broken and has been for awhile. I was sad to learn as Ibwas checking in. That as that is one of the main reasons I chose here and it should be posted but its not.
Clean, bright and fresh decor, room was great, well laid out, comfortable bed, internet TV options.

I only stayed 1 night. Friendly staff. Room could’ve used a little updating but it was clean. The breakfast was awesome! A lot to choose from and I met the man who prepares the breakfast each morning and he seemed so proud of it! He was a sweet and helpful man!

Check in was quick and easy. This hotel was completely sold out for the weekend. We stayed here with our dance competition team for three days and two nights. The team hung out in the lobby, ordered take out, and enjoyed some adult beverages. The staff was GREAT all the way around from check in to breakfast team, and housekeeping. The price of the hotel was also a plus with having a complete kitchen, we were able to also enjoy meals in the room to save some money. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.
