The room could have been cleaner. The bed was comfortable. The a/c worked well. Parking was good and there were no issues. Overpaid as this was the beginning of the school year so value for money was poor.

First off the staff was AMAZING, he helped me when needed a first floor room, and then there were problems with the tvs not working so he helped me move myself and kids to a different room. He made sure we had all the stuff we needed for our stay and was very helpful and kind. However the pool was closed, he said they had it listed on their website, it was not and that was disappointing as my kids were looking forward to swimming. Most of the room was clean, however the microwave and stove top had food on them. The room overall was great sized and everything else was great. I would definitely stay again just for the size of the room and the amenities in the room for a family. The hotel was conveniently located and I liked the access to the restaurants. Overall I would give this hotel a B rating. I was happy with my stay.

Amazing room!!! We got a bedroom and sitting room with a cute little kitchenette. This was so very family friendly. We could make sandwiches and watch movies with our grandchildren. This was so clean and well maintained. We will use this place again!!!

Sheets where clean and bed looked perfect and not just slopped together! Lobby, hallway and room smelled clean!! Clerk was friendly and helpful! All amenities worked and nothing alarming for broken. Sadly I managed a hotel so my expectations are higher than most. Some hair on bathroom floor behind door. Fridge shelves had a few crumbs on it. Floor could of been vacuumed better. Overall for some review on other hotels I passed to come here was top notch. Will return when I'm in the area.

Hardly any thing in the kitchen for cooking, everything continuously locked up, asked for salt and pepper, I was told all there was , already in your room.. 1 pepper pack and 2 salt packs... No ice bucket... Had to take 1 of 2 kitchen pans to get ice. The room was clean, the staff was very nice, but if you stay here expect the bare minimum
