Comfortable and Clean

The staff were all very nice and friendly Bed was comfortable. Shower head is very low. If you are taller then 5' 8" you will need to squat or bend over. Continental breakfast was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than donuts. The even had an almond milk option.

$300 a night and no night stand for one of the beds against the wall? I guess I’ll put my glasses and phone on the floor.

Stay was adequate but we won't stay again

The hotel was mostly clean on the surface, but the floor was covered in black carpet that it was clear had not really been deep cleaned in awhile. The property is dated and the rooms are very dark. The whole property could use renovation. The staff was very friendly except for Stephanie who checked us in. She was making a mistake regarding a deposit at check in and was very rude and insistant on being right despite the fact that I had been told otherwise my other hotel staff previously. She insisted on placing an unnecessary $150 hold on my debit card. When I checked out, a lovely staff member apologized and told me no hold should have been placed. Overall the room suited our needs for a short visit, but we will choose a more updated location in the future.

They advertised photos of a splash pad but we didn’t find out until we got there that it has very limited hours, basically only open on the weekends. Was really disappointing for the kids. Our door didn’t lock all the way. The floor was ripped up in our room. Breakfast was great as were all of the staff working in that area.
