While this hotel is obviously several years old, I found it extremely clean and well maintained. The staff was excellent. This hotel is not the Hilton, but the cleanliness and staff is 5 stars. It’s right on the highway so there is traffic noise but I can adjust to that, my primary concern is cleanliness, staff and well maintained, and it gets 5 stars from me in each of those areas. I would definitely stay there again.

I would pick this hotel over any of the big name hotels in the area over and over again. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The pool and pool area was clean. Our room was right by the pool, but it was still quiet in our room. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!

The lady that checked us in was very kind and friendly. She noticed that I was having trouble from a knee replacement surgery and moved me to a handicap room so I could be more comfortable. That was much appreciated!! I will be staying there every time I’m in town. Thank you so much for the kindness and support shown to me.
