Could Have Been Better

The room was okay but you can't lock the bathroom door. The hotel is right off the interstate so the vehicle noise is loud. There was a family there that was extremely loud and at the pool after hours, well past midnight and the hotel staff did nothing about it. We left a day early because of that. Definitely not a repeat guest

Beautiful renovated property. Nice pool. Awesome game room and fitness room. My only complaint was the tv. It was streaming and the internet sucked so it kept freezing. We weren’t able to watch anything.

Super cute place! When we checked in our room was still dirty, but the staff changed our room immediately. The area wasn’t the best but I didn’t feel unsafe either. It is nice that it was gated, but our key never worked to open it so we had to park and walk into the lobby each time we came through to get someone to open it for us. Management said it was recently damaged but being fixed. It was very close to a lot of things though which was nice.
