The staff was very friendly.Bed was comfortable but the pillows were not. I should of brought my own pillow from home. The pillows were very thick. Breakfast, area was very clean and great variety although the eggs,meat and sausage temperatures were not at requirement temp. They did have a microwave but we shouldn't have to use it.I would stay again but bring my on pillow and hope the temp was right on their breakfast foods.Over all great location with friendly staff.

We have stayed at this hotel before and the room was clean and neat. This time around the room they gave us had a terrible mold smell like the carpet had gotten wet. We unfortunately couldn’t stay in that room and the hotel was completely full. We were given a refund.

Smells clean

Hotel and rooms were very nice and clean. Room was filled with a very clean leather smell and rooms were so clean. One of the lamp in the room did not work, but there were 2 other lamps to use.
