Good hotel.

The hotel was fine. However, it was difficult to find from the highway/road. More signage is needed. Staff was very pleasant and the bed was very comfortable! Not many places to eat.

Renee

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Rooms were spacious and had vaulted ceilings making it feel larger. Beds were comfortable but could use more pillows. Staff was friendly. Lobby does smell a bit like smoke but our room was fine. Only complaint about the room was showers were very loud and sound of noise would wake someone if waking a different times. The community was clean and family friendly with good parks and great coffee shops. I would use this facility again.
