On Friday morning May 30, 2025 the fire alarm went off TWICE before 8AM. Both times the alarm stopped within 20 seconds. However the alarm in my room was VERY loud. The front desk said it was test and security was looking into it. Please, do not test alarms in the early morning hours! There is only one bar/grill within walking distance. There is a sidewalk in front of the hotel which goes for maybe 1/8 of a mile. The airport is 1.3 miles away (3 minutes) and a taxi ride costs $25. There are no sidewalks on Route Business 18 so pedestrian access is dismissal.

This is a fairly new hotel and we were a bit surprised by what we found. The TV in our room would not work (partner needed to watch the game) & they opted to move us to another room. Both TVs had the connecting cords hanging out of the bottom almost to the desk sitting beneath-maybe why # 1 didn’t work? There are velcro products to use for this. Went to close the slider curtains for the night to find a previous guest(?) had pulled almost the entire curtain out of the slider & it was hanging in the rod by about 1/3 of it. Really!! The lovely chrome soap dish in the shower had soap chunk remains from a previous guest and there was grunge in a shower corner that needed a scrub brush. But then housekeeping didn’t notice the curtain issue either.

Very comfortable stay! It was very easy to get there from the interstate and the beds were comfy. The continental breakfast was delicious and there were lots of options! Our only concern was regarding overall cleanliness. The pool area was not very clean and there were a lot of ants near the windows. There also was some food left in our fridge from the previous stay. We would definitely stay again!

Easy check in. The rooms we stayed in were nicely cleaned and the floor was quiet. This is the nicest hotel in the area. I enjoy staying here every time I come back to visit. The only issue sometimes it can be difficult to find staff at the front desk and they aren’t always present.

Breakfast was gross. Wet eggs, 5-day old sausage, no Danish, no fruit. Room was noisy, the floor cracked and creaked all night, neighbor was noisy, felt like the floor by the door to hall had water damage or poorly laid. Never stay there again.
