Great and friendly staff! Nice and clean. Fairly new building with comfortable beds and nice amenities. Only complaint would be that the music was somewhat loud in the lobby/restaurant area. We stayed 4 days and will definitely return we we comeback to visit family!

Clean, well maintained property. The only thing that left a sour taste for me was they charged for parking our car in the lot. The fee for parking was never mentioned when booking this hotel property. Also the front desk attendant that checked me in never mentioned it when he told me to put this parking pass on my dashboard. It didnt make sense to me to charge for parking. We weren't staying downtown with limited parking.

Room was pretty clean except for the piece of popcorn that I could see between the bed and the bedside table. Bathroom was very clean. I loved the shower. Nice and modern! Staff was great. Disappointed that there was a charge for breakfast. We went elsewhere. Same for coffee. Hallway carpeting was pretty stained. Needs a good cleaning. Enjoyed our stay, tho!

The hotel is very well maintained and cleaned; the pool is heated, the beds are completely; however, the only thing why it was not a 5 star hotel was the sofa bed mattress really needs an update; is not usable very worn out.

The proper was well maintained and close to everything. Nothing more than 10 - 15 min drive. The room was clean and updated. The only issue was the shower. The water pressure was a not that good. But over all I would recommend on stay here. It was worth the price.
