The man who was on staff at the front desk (I'm sorry we didn't get his name) was so wonderful when my mother misplaced her credit card. After she called the desk asking if it had been found, he took the effort to watch the security camera footage to see if he could help her locate it. Turns out she left the card elsewhere, but he certainly helped us narrow down and retrace our steps. I don't know if we'll be back to the area, but if we do we'd certainly be staying there again.
Perfect location, spacious room and staff was very pleasant. Room had a mini fridge and microwave which was very convenient. Bathroom had shampoo, body wash and lotion. Bed was very comfortable and heater worked great. Would definitely stay again. Walking distance to liquor store and restaurants.
Great customer service and decent rooms for the pricepoint.

I always enjoy my stay at the Atwood. Parking is convenient. Rooms are spacious great location. Front desk is always friendly and professional great place to stay.
We had a handicapped room based on my husband's injury. The staff was very accommodating to our needs. The room was clean and very big. This is a very convenient location as there are nearby attractions and it is reasonably close to the airport.
