This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk.

we stayed there a week for Junior Olympics. Nice new clean property. The breakfast was average but decent enough for most (waffles, eggs bacon, biscuits and gravy). Found the coffee to be real good. Chris the manager was also very responsive and friendly.

The outside of the hotel sure made it look like it was going to be amazing inside! But...there was nobody at the front desk to check in with, my husband waited 10 minutes for help..the beds were creaky..the window shade was broken..and honestly, I've had way better breakfast elsewhere. Hottub and pool were a hit with my kids tho!

The staff at the desk went above and beyond with the check in process, recommending local restaurants and answering other questions. Extremily clean room and met all my needs. Good breakfast and the hot tub was actually hot unlike many other places. I highly recommend this hotel.

The outside of the building looked good and the room itself was clean. There was however a leaking ice maker in the hallway so we had to walk through puddles to our room. Also, the breakfast had very little to offer so it was not a viable choice and we had to buy breakfast elsewhere.
