Nice place

I booked a night so my kids could swim. The hotel is very clean but the pool is definitely not the pool on the picture, it was much smaller. Overall great experience, the breakfast was a nice touch as well.

Hotel was very nice. The furniture in the rooms could use a good shampoo. The staff was pleasant and there were plenty restaurants near by. Breakfast had a nice hot bar daily. Our only complaint was how expensive the pet fee was. $87 (with tax) is higher than normal. I’m not sure they should be taxing a fee either but that’s not the point.

10 Stars, One of the Best

Very clean, very quiet, staff is all smiles, joke with you and are all friendly. WONDERFUL breakfast! My big thing at all places i stay for work that is a make or break for me is "is the bed soft and comfortable"? And YES the bed was VERY comfortable. All amenities of home on a smaller but very spacious comfortable size suite. This will be my new place to stay for work when i come to the area.

The hot water from the bathtub and sink faucets was too hot. No cold water came out regardless of whether I turned the faucet to the right or left, forcing me to shower with dangerously hot water. I request improvement. The pillowcases on the bed linens were permeated with someone else’s smell. I woke up in the middle of the night because of the odor, which was so disturbing that it even gave me nightmares. Overall, I think the cleanliness of the room was well-maintained.

Okay hotel

I have stayed at a lot of different hotels from 2-star to 5-star and this hotel is definitely an average 3-star hotel. It had high ratings for being clean, but I found it to be a little dated, and not as clean as I had hoped. The mini lotion bottle in the room had been used and was half-full. The tiles in the bathroom either needed to be deep cleaned or were stained. Breakfast buffet was good and a typical free breakfast at a hotel. There didn't seem to be a lot of high rated hotels under $200, so for the price, I think it was okay and would probably stay again.

The breakfast upset my stomach. My son barely ate the breakfast because it didn’t taste great. I don’t like wasting food so I forced myself to eat it. The room was clean and comfortable but I didn’t expect it to be so small. It was enough room for my son & I. But it wouldn’t have been big enough for more than 2 people.
