Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel was in a great location near many stores and restaurants. The staff were very nice and inviting. I didn’t get to experience the pool but saw many people in it and it looked very clean. Breakfast was good and very well kept, the staff made sure nothing was empty during the breakfast times and checked to make sure every customer was happy. The reason I didn’t give the review 5 stars was because the property needs a lot of physical maintenance. There was a smell of wet moldy carpet in the hallway by the ice machine on the way to my room on the second floor. Inside of the room the ceiling was peeling down, and a lot of the paint was cracking.

Great stay 10/10

My stay here was great. The room was clean and updated. The pool area is really nice. Make sure you double check your receipt if if you’re traveling with a service animal. They charged me for my service animal, it had to be reversed. Front desk staff was amazing. Breakfast is ok, could be better however it’s not a deal breaker for me. The room and pool is more important. I was satisfied.

Great stay!!!

I enjoyed this stay. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was super comfortable. The pool area was very well kept. Breakfast left a lot for be desired. They had no milk, pancake mix however it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. The pool area and the rooms were most important to me. I definitely would stay here again and again. The price wasn’t bad either for the suite that I had. Totally worth it. OH!!!! And the free chocolate chip cookies are DELICIOUS!!! LOL my family loved them.

I really liked that you had a washer and dryer close by I didn’t like that there wasn’t any quarters near by. The staff was very friendly and the pool young man was very polite. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

A lot of stank faces towards my pitty from the staff. He was very well behaved and stayed to himself walking through the lobby; you don’t have to be a dog person to not make absolutely rude faces towards a dog. Weird behavior
