I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Check-in was quick and easy, and I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, spacious, and comfortable my room was. The pool was fantastic clean, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a long day. It really added to the experience and made my stay even more enjoyable. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I had a great night’s sleep. Breakfast was delicious with a wide variety of fresh options. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, whether for business or leisure. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip!

The sink in our room had no water pressure and did not drain properly. It would take hours for the sink to empty. No sheets or blankets for the pullout couch. Breakfast was consistent. Website says laundry is free but the machines in the dryer are two dollars each and they take quarters only. The area surrounding the hotel was really nice. The room was spacious. The staff were very nice.

The sound of voices in the hallway is very loud. People who were speaking in normal times sounded like they were screaming. Two of the electrical outlets didn’t work very well. Items we plugged in were loose causing our CPAP machines to shut off twice during the night. Floor tiles in the bathroom were also loose. I thought the rate was extremely high for the quality of the room. We will not stay there in the future
