Excellent Stay for Families! We stayed for 7 days and 6 nights, and overall had a wonderful experience. We originally booked one room, but upon arrival, we decided to upgrade to two rooms so our family could stay more comfortably. The rooms were cozy, and the kitchen, although small, had everything we needed to prepare our own meals. The staff was very friendly and helpful at all times, but I want to highlight the exceptional service we received from Joselyn, who assisted us from check-in to check-out. She always greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel truly welcome. Breakfast was included, and although the dining area is small, it flows very well and never felt crowded. I highly recommend this hotel for families looking for a quiet and comfortable place to stay.

Room was dated and dirty. Hairs all over the bathroom floor, sheets had stains. TV went out middle of the night. Called front desk and they said they were aware of the problem but they don’t have maintenance on site to help. What an inconvenience. We were just there for one night for a band competition, but will look elsewhere next time.
