The property was clean, safe, convenient as far as restaurants, gas stations and shopping. The staff was nice and cordial. What i didnt like was that housekeeping is done only if requested and that was not communicated upon arrival. I did not find out until our last day and I called mentioning that room service did not come and we needed towels. I had to go get them and still was not told about housekeeping. We also was not informed about that it would be a fee for parking. Communication on behalf of the staff could be better. Also, when we entered the room it was not a pleasant smell but it was clean. I went to close the curtains and found dirty panties on the carpet. I'm assuming that was the cause of the smell. I had to go to the store to get air freshners for each room. Upon leaving i informed the staff of the issues and they apologized by removing the price for parking. However, my stay ended on the 18th and I have not received my incidental deposit and the room was left in good condition and i have vide to prove it

We stayed in an accessible suite on the first floor with a roll-in shower. Super easy for our disabled family member to navigate. The pull-out sofa mattress was a little thin and we had to request bedding for it even though we'd listed 3 people on the reservation. Staff was great! Pool, grill and firepit made for a social atmosphere. Would recommend!

I need you to know that these people at this hotel didn't know what was going on from one person to the next. I asked them for extra bedding and towels, and they brought us a pillow, no towels, then I had to go down to the lobby and ask again for more towels and wait for the 1 person at the desk to finish checking in someone, who they lost her reservation, and then answer the phones and then get my towels. Then they kept asking if I want to charge things to my room, which is really strange, and they were very hard to understand. When I checked out the did not offer me a receipt or anything because they said that everything had already been paid for online, but after we got home I found out that they are charging me a PET FEE, which I did not bring a pet, and they are charging me for parking, which I never was told or signed for being charged for parking. They are trying to charge me over 108.00 for these things! I will be disputing these charges if they don't reverse them, and I will tell you this, we will NEVER stay at this one or one of these chains again!

Rooms are configured nicely, new and clean. No elevators. If you are not on the ground floor, prepare to haul your belongings upstairs. They charge for parking and it is very limited. We had to park very far from our room. Unfortunately, the front desk staff are curt and unwelcoming.
