Very nice hotel in a convenient location for a developing suburb. Could have been a bit cleaner. TV out of order upon arrival but quickly addressed although the TV was rehung a little crooked after reset. Shower was a bit weak, normal for all newer properties, but bathroom sink and vanity were very tall. Odd, I'm average height, 5'9" and I had to stand on toes to reach everything. For wife, 4'11", almost unusable. Breakfast was hot and fresh, decent selection, but same both days. Out of state car parked next to mine during the night was found to have 2 people sleeping in it. When reported to staff, no action taken. A decent hotel and I would consider staying again to see if anomalies have been addressed.

The hotel was very clean and quiet. Rooms are very spacious. We were there for only one night but the amenities also looked great (pool, fitness center, breakfast area). We were able to grab a few bites for breakfast before our departure. Great value.

This is the place to stay when in town for a concert. We always come back and are always greeted with top notch service. I cannot say enough good things! LaSalle and the general manager ( sorry I don’t see the name on the name tag). You both deserve a bonus for the wonderful welcoming service you provide! We will be back for the next concert! Until then ROCK ON!
