Pat, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel was great--it did it's job but I wish I had known that the pool was closed. We had 4 kids with us who were very excited to swim. The breakfast was good, although it ended a lot earlier than what we're used to at other hotels. The beds were great and the rooms were nice and big.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had however woke up late but still before the stop time for breakfast and went down and ate with being done at 0905 but the gal who was apparently supposed to be off at 0900 was a bit rude and slamming things around but we had not gotten in until after 0200 so we needed to sleep at sometime. The food however was excellent just didn’t appreciate the attitude by that particular employee. Everything else was excellent—5 stars other than this great place and was a great stay. I would recommend this hotel to friends

This property is very poor. The pool isn’t working, the treadmill broke, the staff was unfriendly, one of our beds was broken. Not a nice hotel.
Tiffany, 2-night trip

A nice stopping point.

Stopped for one night while traveling. Hotel and room were clean. Bed was very comfortable. Front desk and breakfast person were friendly. Breakfast was well maintained and fresh. We would stay here again.
Anne, 1-night trip

Rooms were very clean, spacious and comfy bed. Breakfast buffet was great. Would have given a 5 but pool was closed without prior notification.
