Supposed to be handicapped room. Had to go buy a step stool to get on the bed because it was not handicapped accessible. Black out shade came crashing down at 2:30 AM. Control didn’t work to get it back up. Phone in the room didn’t work. No instructions on checking out. The room felt like a prison cell.

Make some changes

The hotel was nice and clean for the most part. A little cold foe my taste. The shower doors need adjusted, water leaked all over the floor and down along the wall. Breakfast could be improved with more of a variety. Most breakfast items were bread, very little fruit and only a machine that had yogurt. Adding flavored creamers for coffee would be nice as well. Probably wont stay here again.

This hotel was very nice, comfortable, and the service was great. The shower was large and the room was spacious. We were traveling with our dog, and it was a great fit for our family.

We had a wedding in the area and wanted to stay close as we live 2 hours away. We arrive 19 minutes before 3 and were greeted with a cold woman who stated that check in was not until 3 o'clock and we may not check in until then. We left un-checked in and returned after our event. We agree that she was following policy, but I would not use this hotel again based on her rudeness.

The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. We had to switch rooms immediately due to a leak and the staff was very accommodating. The rooms are spacious and clean, good for a quick night stay. Our refrigerator leaked over night which left the floor moist and was annoying
