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.

Great place to stay.
Randy, 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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great space. Grest price.
The hotel is well maintained and we enjoyed the suite. Much better than just a room.
Britany, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

pictures were so deserving, disappointed right from the start when our keys wouldn't work for the doors, then to see the pool and how small it was and no towels, then informed the hot tub was not working which was a main thing we wanted to do. after getting to our room, it was a lot smaller than it looked in pictures and only 2 towels were left, we have 5 kids and 2 dogs with us so 1 roll of toilet paper and 2 towels wasnt going to cut it. also didnt get any of the requested items i asked for when reserving the room and the trash bags were so small and ripped so we had a bunch of garbage we could get rid of the entire weekend. it was an ok place for the price and no notice complaints but needs some work done and upkeep and more supplies offered would help and a notice of broken amenities would be nice as well.
