We thought the room was clean and comfortable. The pool was nice and not overly warm but a nice temperature. The hot tub was great. Overall great experience. I only wish the pool opened earlier so we could have gotten a swim in before our checkout time.

Efficient check-in. Updated modern style decor in rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. A staff member named Will was seemed particularly hard working and other guests at the hotel also commented on his resolving an issue for them quickly. Hot tub and pool were in good working condition.

The staff was awesome! I arrived at 3:00am due to numerous flight delays from California, and a staff member was there to check me in. They stayed in communication with me throughout the day and had my room key all ready to go when I arrived. They went above and beyond

Liked: Cleanliness
We’ve stayed at the property before and it was okay, so we tried it again. DISAPPOINTED to say the least. Room is okay (fairly clean and beds are comfy), but breakfast was AWFUL. They were out of almost everything edible … we ate a strawberry (!) waffle and a yogurt. Fun if you’re 5 years old but not adults. Won’t stay here again.

It was clean and the staff were very friendly. But the room was way too small and felt claustrophobic, especially the bathroom. The air conditioner kept going out and the room got stuffy.

We like that the place has been updated. New Carpet, paint, furnishings, bedding, pillows. Everything seemed to be very new. Was pleasantly surprised how nice it was, much better that review scores. Friendly helpful staff. Had planned on staying on our return trip, but 100mph winds did a number on the town. Hotel was unable to take guests at the time of our return. Will plan on future stays here.
