We were very disappointed in our stay. We came in for one night from the airport before beginning our vacation. The room was dirty, outdated, old, and worn. The smell in the halls was terrible. I would not recommend this property to anyone.

Mediocre

Room was ok, bed was comfortable, low water pressure in shower.Not the cleanest room i havs stayed in, but not too bad. Breakfast was aweful! Limited selection, watery OJ, and lousy coffee. The girl attending the breakfast area had her face buried in her cell phone the entire time we were eating.

good location, nice room

beds were nice, bathroom was nice, but the water pressure / shower head sucked like they usually do at most hotels, the free breakfast was okay, the check in and check out process was the easiest I have ever been through in my life at any hotel, no extra forms to sign or charge of a credit card for incidentals which will be refunded like at other hotels, price was kind of expensive for one night, also there should be a microwave in the room for the price, not just a refrigerator, great location, easy to get in and out of the parking lot, free Wi-Fi, given password upon checkin

Had no issues. I think on record the fastest hotel check in. NO B.S. everything I needed they had. Very prompt. The shower head was broken, I told front desk and less than a minute they were there looking at it. They seem to be always working to improve stuff while I was there.

The property and staff was excellent. However, they never received my reservation from Expedia so it took us a while to checkin. However, staff was very diligent and making sure we got the room that I paid for.
