A good place to stay.

Overall, our stay at this hotel was enjoyable, earning its solid 4 out of 5 rating. The bed was excellent—comfortable and well-appointed, ensuring a restful night. However, cleanliness could be improved, as the entryway and bathroom tiles felt slightly sticky, and when we wiped up a spill, the rag picked up noticeable dirt. The breakfast, often praised in reviews, was certainly above average compared to typical hotel offerings, but we found the selection of healthy options to be quite limited. Sound insulation is one area for improvement, which is common across many U.S. hotels. Noise from the hallway was easily heard inside the room, and vice versa, occasionally disrupting the otherwise peaceful atmosphere. Despite these minor drawbacks, the hotel delivers a quality experience and is well worth considering for a stay.

Staff was fine. Outside the front entry has a dirty look. Needs pressure washing to include trash dispensers. Breakfast was good and room seemed clean. I would rate it at 4 stars.

Desk service

During my arrival after a long drive we were hoping to check in a little early. I understand that you have times set, but with over 300 rooms and 3 cars in the parking lot , you can use that old saying " YOUR ROOM IS NOT READY YET" . So we left with leaving our phone number with the Desk clerk and him promising he would give us a call as it became avaliable . Well it is now 5:30 pm and still no call. That not any way from your desk clerk to do people. He should of least be talking to and let him know that he is not doing his job I could see it if he was busy, but I saw that all he wanted to do was play in the internet. Bad way to treat your guest I'm sorry .
