I recently stayed at this property, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The bed had an unpleasant odor, as if the sheets hadn’t been properly cleaned. I also experienced repeated key issues—having to reset my access three times over just two days—because the key often wouldn’t open the gate or my room. On top of that, there was a strong smell of weed lingering in the hallway. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.

This was by far the worst experience I have had in decades of staying at different hotel chains and lodging properties. We were abruptly awakened by the sound of running water coming from the sink in our room. Dirty water overflowed and spilled onto our shoes and newly purchased clothing, causing both inconvenience and damage. Despite this incident, maintenance work continued inside our room for more than thirty minutes while we were trying to rest, with no consideration for our comfort or privacy. The property manager stated that he would escalate the issue to his superior; however, no follow-up ever occurred. I have since sent multiple emails, all of which have been completely ignored. This level of service is unacceptable and falls well below the standards expected from a reputable hotel brand.

Great location, newer hotel with nice appearance, staff friendly, good breakfast, spacious room with full-size refrigerator and microwave. No utensils or dishes for the kitchen but the front desk provided plastic utensils, and Walmart is not far away. Too cold to use the pool, but the pool and hot-tub setting is nice. Would definitely stay there again.

It was good not great. I have stayed there a few times before. It has always been clean and comfortable at a good rate with great staff. My room was very clean and ready the 3rd time that I arrived at 11:00 at night. To qualify that, the 1st arrival was before check in, 2nd was 20 minutes prior. The people were great, but stressed, seemed understaffed. Parking was near non existent due to work crews and huge trucks. They were also quite noisy around 5:30 am. The woman fixing breakfast was great, especially running it on her own! She needed help. The place was a little run down, blinds broken, old tv stands, etc. Employees made the rating good, averaging everything out.
