It was so hot. The ac was horrible. It would not go lower then 65 and the room never got below 68 all night. The waffles were dry and no flavor and the eggs were like rubber. The ac alone ruined my stay.

I was leery about the neighborhood but it was a nice quiet area. Convenient location. Several dining options within a 5 minute drive. We needed to check in early and it was no problem whatsoever. Room was updated and clean. Staff was very friendly. My wife forgot an expensive pair of sunglasses and the hotel found them and held on to them until she picked them up a few days later which to me speaks to integrity. I would stay here again.

Will go back.

Stayed here before. It is a nice place. Since the first time we went the prices per night have gone up a lot. We stay to go to the racetrack, we only did one night because of the price where we did multiple nights in the past.
