Good points: rooms were clean. The hotel was quiet. The breakfast was fair. Coffee in the lobby was actually pretty good and available at all times. Reason for the poor rating: we had booked a 3 night stay. On day 1 we discovered the shower ceiling in our room was leaking. We reported it the day we arrived. By the second night the leak was worse and the ceiling was coming down into the tub. At 10 in the evening we were moving rooms. Our new room had a lamp that didn’t have a pull cord, a bathroom mirror frame that was busted up, and the hairdryer kept blowing the bathroom outlet. In addition, we had chosen this hotel because it had an indoor pool for lap swimming. As it turned out, the heater wasn’t working so wasn’t usable. The staff was mildly sympathetic but they indicated they couldn’t do anything because there are no maintenance people on staff over the weekends. !!! After requesting some type of compensation we were given a 15% discount. A small gesture but it didn’t make up for the bad experience on a family celebration weekend.

We (my wife & I) checked in on Friday, November 21, 2025, about 8pm. Front desk service was not welcoming at all. We were not informed about breakfast until I asked, and know mention of wifi code. Uncertain of the gentleman's name, but he was not friendly at all. When we entered the hotel on Saturday, November 22, he didn't as much as speak to us when entering the lobby. This is customer service at its worst. We travel a lot and this is not the norm at most hotels. The room was fine but two bulbs in the bathroom was burned out and bath tub was stained. We made the front desk aware of the light issue when checking out. Overall the room was fine. Price was great for our purposes of being in the area.

Everyone was nice, room was clean, no issues encountered. Stayed for 2 days. Never got to breakfast, we slept through it. LOL. I think the pool was next to our room, but everyone was out at the designated time, so no issues there either. Front desk staff was kind, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. Would stay again.
