The rooms were very clean and fresh smelling. Our room have the jet tub in it and that was wonderful. It was nice and quiet and just a relaxing stay, even on a Saturday night. The breakfast was good and they had nice options to choose from. The bed was super comfortable!! And the staff was friendly and very helpful thank you Jennifer for all your help. It was a pleasure meeting you and we will definitely be back again.

Excellent customer service. Clean. quiet. Enjoyed the breakfast/breakfast room (nice selection, great coffee, and fresh fruit). Nice covered outdoor hot tub. Felt like a bed-and-breakfast versus a motel vibe. Very comfortable. Can’t wait to go back.

Nice and clean room, well furnished except for nightstands and reading lights. One very small nightstand for 2 queen beds and no reading lights. Other than that highly recommended.

It was a decent place, especially for that price point. I think with the Hotels.com ranking of 9.2 I just expected a little more. The bathroom fan would short out in the refrigerator didn’t fit into the cabinet. You had to tug against the cabinet to open it. The breakfast is not good for people with dietary restrictions or wishing to eat low carb or a carb free. My friend tried the biscuits and gravy and the biscuits were not defrosted from obviously being in the freezer at night it was a nice clean room and staff was nice. I would probably stay again just with tempered expectations.

The staff were incredibly nice and helpful! We booked a week before New Year’s Eve and the prices were really affordable! The room was spacious for the price, good TV, a microwave and refrigerator, and touch lighting in the room. The only reason to give it a four was the hairdryer that was a bit dirty and didn’t work, the cheaper handsoap, and the thinner walls, although still not too noisy.

The TV didn’t work but no one at the front desk picked up when we called for assistance. There was someone’s tooth floss stuck to the wall. Breakfast was ok but with the flickering lights and TV news on, it wasn’t a pleasant ambience. The mattress was noise and worn out. The sheets and pillows were uncomfortable. Kind of hot synthetic fabric. The stay was only okay
