Great staff, nice rooms, very fancy coffee machine for breakfast. Only complaint was breakfast was not stocked. Very few options and variety’s for breakfast. We ate around 8 which is the middle-ish of their breakfast hours and I feel it should have been stocked. (It wasn’t busy)

Here for one night. Didnt use the exercise facilities. Guys at the check in were super nice. TV has a great picture. No shops or variety of restaurants nearby. Ended up with a way too big pizza. Bed seems comfy. Room is clean the plastic covered docs could use a good wipe down. Feel sticky. Overall I'm satisfied with this place for an overnighter.

The hotel was decent for price. Location was ok. The hotel itself was nice and the rooms were comfy and clean. However my tv was broken and had a scratch (didn't bother me but might others). The breakfast was a little skimpy. There was a pancake machine but idk if it ran out or wasn't working. So I think you have to get there early. Pool was great that it was indoor, but the hot tub is currently closed if your expecting that. Would stay again if I was in the area. Perfect for travelers it's close to 95.

Disliked: Staff & service
Our room was clean and the beds comfortable. The A/C unit did not work. The front desk check in folks need to work on their people skills. We were not greeted on arrival. I stood waiting for some time with no acknowledgment. No eye contact, no hello. Desk staff was irritated and frazzled with some other issue. A next shift desk clerk, not on duty, observed this and greeted us and was very kind.

The workers at the check in were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean. The only issue was the worker that was preparing the breakfast in the morning was not friendly and actually yelled at my son.
