This hotel provided a wonderful stay. They were even able to accomodate an early check in for us. The location is good as well, as there are several restaurants/stores just around the corner (in walking distance). It also has good highway access. The breakfast spread was quite good too. Overall, an excellent stay - thank you!

Overall a nice stay. We were greeted upon arrival and offered a complimentary water (not sure if this was because I was an IHG member). We didn’t take in any amenities so can’t comment on those.

The hotel was okay and you get what you paid for however the swimming pool looks cloudy and a bit dirty, to be fair it was warm to swim in. I found under the bed a sticky trap for the bugs which was disgusting. The staffs are pleasant and attentive.

Comfortable, clean, friendly staff. Nice selection of breakfast items. Would suggest a few more tables for two in the additional dining room. We would like to have experienced more consistency with the towels. On arrival our towels were thick and soft but each day of our several night stay this initial quality was not maintained. We did enjoy the use of the pool but found the room to be very hot.

Picked this hotel particularly for the pool and slide. My kids (7 and 9) couldn’t even use it as the water was too hot. There was a broken part but we were not made aware of this until we went to use the pool. If I had known I would have chosen somewhere else to stay.
