Wonderful staff
Weather caused us to miss our stay, but they were very accommodating to help us donate our stay to the local emergency housing shelter.

Wonderful Stay
The stay was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. Room was very clean and spacious. The one thing I will point out, and this is getting to seem typical at hotels, the toilets are very low to the floor. So, if you are a tall person or someone with bad knees, you will feel like you are on a child's toilet. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe, area with many food options within walking distance.
Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The bathroom and beds were clean, however the place was rundown and needs updating which made it feel not clean. The free breakfast was very limited.

2/10 Poor

Terrible Stay
The worst stay I have ever had at a hotel, the clerk was extremely rude, the hot tub was not working and the pool was filthy.
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room quality Great. Air quality needs improvement
The amenities were great. I had a one bedroom one queen suite. Very nice. The only issue we had was the air comfort. During the night hours, the air got so dry.

Great price/Good Stay
Overall it was a great stay, very friendly staff clean (the shower drain needed hair pulled out). The mattresses need replaced, super hard and definitely worn in. Would also be nice with they through on some bedbug protectors, but had no rating on the facility. The breakfast was your typical breakfast, just wish their was a little more variety, same things served for 3/4 of our days.

Enjoyed the layout of the suite we had. The bedroom tv did not work. We were disappointed in the breakfast. There was a variety, just not to our tastes. Overall, we would be happy to stay again.
