We had a very late check in but staff was at the desk within seconds of us walking through the door. Parking lot was well lit which was nice walking in with little kiddos. The entire property was impeccably clean, beds were comfortable and breakfast was great and well stocked. We would 100% stay again!

We stayed one night to break up our trip home. The room was extremely clean, the beds were very comfortable, the walk in shower was such a welcome change and the water was very hot. The continental breakfast went above and beyond with pastries, omelets, and plenty of healthy options. It’s close to the highway as well as many stores. We will be back.

The overall stay was a 4 out of 5. Room for improvement could be the cleanliness of the pool area and keeping it stocked with towels. My other complaint was the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom. The water was not very hot and the pressure left a little to be desired. You often had to wait for staff to come to the front desk as well.

I have stayed at this property twice bothering times my sleep was disrupted by the sounds of toilets flushing and people walking back and forth and back and forth in the room above me - clearly the walls and ceilings are paper thin with no soundproofing

We love their breakfasts, but this stay was not a good breakfast experience. We got there over a half an hour before the time for breakfast ended. But there was only one sausage left a couple of egg omelettes, no cinnamon roll rolls in the empty container, and when I tried to make a pancake, it just said pancake bag needs to be replaced, and there was also no orange juice. The attendant did come out and replace the juice when another guest was standing there waiting. I stood there waiting for her to refill the food items, which she did for the sausage and the eggs, but when I asked about the pancakes, she simply opened. It showed me the empty bag and said it’s finished. At that point, I asked if she could refill the cinnamon rolls, which she did but they were still all nearly frozen, and there was no microwave or way to heat them up, other than the heat lamp above them, which would not have warmed them before the breakfast time was over. Most every other time their breakfasts were excellent and always restocked quickly, so hopefully our next day will be better as we really do like this hotel!

The property itself feels neat and clean, so I would recommend this place. However, our room was very gross. I might chalk this up to a poor housekeeping staffer. The bed cover had a recent small liquid stain, there was someone’s old sock on the floor, and there were at least 15 body hairs on the bathroom floor and a couple in the sink. One thing I can’t stand is someone else’s body hair, if the floor was actually vacuumed, there should not have been any.
