Receptionist was very kind and considerate of our late check-in, offering extended pool hours and recommending late night eateries near by. We were very weary of the dark location of establishment but receptionist calmed our worries and ensured us this was a safe location. We had no mishaps and will definitely be visiting again.

The staff was very nice and wanted to please. Easy to enter from back or front entrances. It was clean and the a/c unit did a nice job. A dire need of an update. …new pillows, carpet, furnishings. Breakfast was lacking in the nutrition department and variety.

I messed up and made the reservation for the wrong day. The guy at the front desk made it happen for me, even though I paid through a third party. I can't thank him enough. The hottub was down for maintenance, but the 92 degree water temp pool and the suana more than made up for it. I'll definitely stay there again.

It would have been nice to have let us know the hot tub was being worked on with hammer drills making the pool area a dusty environment when we booked. Also the breakfast could use more fruit other than an apple. Otherwise the rooms were clean and quiet and the beds were very comfortable.

This place is a hidden gem. It’s clean, safe, comfortable, and welcoming. The gorgeous lobby is like a 5 star resort. My room was furnished with a comfortable bed plus a fridge, microwave, safe, & desk with 2 chairs. There is an indoor swimming pool, a business center and excellent parking. I highly recommend staying here!

We've stayed here a lot in the past. I did prefer the way that Americinn did a few things differently and I do understand that they are under remodel, so I expect things to be a little better next time. I would appreciate a small laundry bag in the room like they used to give. The card/key is a little finicky, the TV remote didn't control the volume. A bath mat would be nice but not necessary. I think the value you get is pretty good for what you get but it would be nice to have those things like Americinn used to do, hence the 4 starts. We'll stay here again in the future. Dave is a very pleasant and responsive manager and we look forward to seeing him again.
