This property advertises as "pet friendly" but it is not ! When I checked in I was informed that it was a $ 40 a NIGHT per pet fee. I stay with pets all of the time and have never had such an expensive fee. The women at the desk then told me to make sure my dogs never bark barking is not permitted! The pet fee is hidden in the fine print on their ad. When checking out they refused to give me a printed receipt . I would not recoms staying here

My god where do I start?! So I recently stayed at this hotel and was absolutely horrified . There was black mold in the tub and the room was not cleaned properly. So after I get into my room I proceeded to the front desk to speak with management for a refund, as I already prepaid online prior to checking in.The manager stated that her name was “G” and that she would refund me in full after I presented all of the photos I took on my phone of my concerns but because I had no other arrangements for the night I had no choice but to stay there. Management also advised me that they were completely sold out so they couldn’t even change my room. I was also told to call the following day to confirm my refund.So I did and the manager “G” was incredibly rude and unprofessional. There was also chipping paint on the walls, The toilet paper holder was literally falling off the wall , The photo’s portrayed on the website were cleaned and intact . But To my surprise when I checked into my room it was absolutely disgusting. It was a terrible experience, and I can't believe how poorly they handled the situation. I will never return nor recommend this place to anyone who has even the slightest expectations.

Pretty much exactly what I expected. A hotel close to my event, but not much else. But again what I was looking for as I wasn’t a tourist, I was in town on business and this was a great choice. One I will make again and again as long as I keep going to that event.

It really could have been a better stay. Although the room was clean, it was a very dated room. The room in the photos at the time of booking was not the room I reserved. The photo had a his and hers sink in the bathroom. The room I got was a one sink bathroom. The jetted tub was nice but was dated and had some chipping and looks like rust is starting. The mini fridge also had cracks in the base, not a very good presentation. The pillows on the bed were very warn out and small. I did try to ask for bigger pillows but was told they are all the same size. The mattress we had needed to be replaced. It was sunken in the middle to a point that when lying down on the side it felt Iwas lying on a steep hill. It really dampered the stay. I challenge management to try to use that mattress for a night to see if it is worthy of a suite. The breakfast lay out was very good with lots of options both hot and cold, and the presentation was clean. Its too bad that there was not that much pride put into the actual room.
