This is usually our go to place to stay when visiting the Springs. The last couple of stays have not been what they used to be. This time, the bathroom didn’t look clean, and the room looked like it already needed repairs (chipped walls, blinds didn’t work properly, AC was rattling) and wasn’t cleaned properly (found top to bottle, leaves and stems in our room).

The beds were comfortable. But the configuration of the two room suite was a little odd for four adults. To use the restroom you had to walk through the second bedroom.

The hotel was decent, clean, a bit off of the highway. Breakfast was good. I thought the room rate was a little too expensive though.

Eeh. Ok

Waited 10 minutes to get checked in the poor kid who was trying to run the front desk had to do 1 million different things at one time and he was trying his best while the management sat back in an office and just stared at the people in a line waiting to check in This poor boy was running around doing everything he could try to please everybody by himself. Made me sad for him. The hotel is OK. It could’ve been really good except that there was leftover food under our nightstand from the previous people all that obviously wasn’t cleaned up well

Stayed for a lacrosse tournament at AFA. Close to shops and restaurants. The bathroom was still dirty when we arrived to our room that was the only negative. Everyone was friendly and the breakfast was good in am. Wish it opened at 6 though.

Very nice place to stay with family

Check in was easy and quick. Our rooms were very nice with big tv, fridge, microwave and Keurig. All was clean. Bathroom and shower were good with nice soaps and lotions. Breakfast was good with so many options....oatmeal, bagels and toast, pancakes, eggs and sausage, including turkey sausage, egg white omelets and potatoes. Different to juices to select, decent coffee and good tea selection. I would stay here again.
