I was very impressed of how clean the room was. the staff when checking in was very polite and friendly. I didn't have to go far for dining and wi-fi was great. I will be back for the stay. Also, I have already recommended others to stay when in town.

Nice new hotel! Clean, smelled great. The bed was a bit too hard for me, but okay. Smaller room than normal with just an office chair to sit on. Otherwise you had to always be on the bed to watch tv. I recommend it for the price.

Our second stop at a Tru by Hilton. Very comfortable room and the bed was very comfortable/firm. Breakfast was perfect temperature and the food area was spacious and clean. Annette should be a trainer for the entire chain! She was genuine and welcoming. It takes a very special person to greet people and make them feel good. She really accomplished that!

This place was amazing. You walk in and 1st thing is how bright and clean it is, 2nd is the complimentary water/snacks were offered from the awesome/friendly front desk young lady who gave us a pizza recommendation. But let me tell you about the welcome breakfast hostess-every place needs an ANNETTE!! She greeted us and everyone with a smile, offered hugs, positive attitude and just made you feel warm and welcome. They need to clone her! This started our day out on such a high note before we headed home.
