10/10 Exceptional

Hotel is very clean. Customer services very accommodating and willing. Only odd thing is front desk being on the phone for personal calls. You can hear it upstairs because of the open lobby however, I would definitely stay there again.

Miriam, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff were all friendly and the hotel was comfortable except for the bugs. Immediately killed one roach on arrival and a second one within the first hour. Saw a few more before we checked out.

James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I would stay here again

We stayed in a 2 queen room. Bed was slightly firmer than I like but still comfortable. 4 pillows... I love lots of pillows! The bathroom was large with a double size vanity. The bathroom had plug outlets on both sides of the vanity in the wall. (Don't see that too often). Breakfast was decent. They had fried eggs, breakfast sausage, hashbrown potatoes along with pastries and cereal. We did not use the pool but they did have an indoor pool. No hot tub. Hotel was clean and welcoming. Plenty of on site parking. Overall I liked our stay and would stay here again.

German, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel looks new, the carpets are fresh and the paint is bright. Nice rooms, large bathroom with stone countertop, with lots of counter space. The breakfast was good, too--fried eggs, sausage links and home fries, with coffee and juice. It was everything that I needed at a great price.

It was clean, and the staff were very friendly! Got some cereal for breakfast and they had hot food as well. I enjoyed my stay.
Jacob, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay. We booked here because we have kids and because of the advertised indoor pool. It was a disappointment that the pool was not heated. But other than that, the property was clean and the staff was very nice. We would return here next time we visit family in the area.
Star, 2-night trip

Overall safe and quiet. I had to call for them to refund my deposit.
