The room looked to be clean but we kept seeing ants. We rented two rooms for 7 days and both rooms would need the room keys reset almost daily. The gym was good. The breakfast was good, our family of 5 all found something they liked.

This hotel was great a quick one night stay. The gal at the front desk was super friendly. The hotel was full but was never loud. My niece is gluten free and the breakfast had multiple gluten free options. The lady working the breakfast was also very kind and worked hard to keep the breakfast full. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel.
