Front desk was really helpful and so nice, room was clean, hallways and everything in hotel were clean! Beds were so nice to sleep in and the place was quiet.
Great breakfast close to Starbucks and Texas road house both walking distance. Kitchens were nice if you wanted to eat in . Used the laundry needs quarters. Used the exercise room.
Beds were great!
No complaints here
Staff was jnformative
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.

The lady working breakfast was friendly.
They ran out of muffins as well as juice so only offered milk to drink with breakfast. Disappointing when I can't drink milk. They eggs and bacon was good.
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.
Clean, bright and fresh decor, room was great, well laid out, comfortable bed, internet TV options.

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.
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!
