8/10 Good

Spacious room with newly renovated walk in shower! Larger than average hotel room with cubbies and lots of storage.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We lived everything. Clean rooms, supportive and responsive staff, and an excellent location made our stay most enjoyable. Kassia and Brianna were amazing! Thanks to everyone!
Barbara, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Staff was nice and knowledgeable. Room was CLEAN and had great space. Bed was a little hard. I would stay here again, the cleanliness outweighs the hard bed.
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Totally updated.
Donna, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The updates to the hotel are great. the rooms are above average size which is awesome. I personally love that there are multiple hooks and shelves to hang items. There was a beside table for the second queen bed. It's like the hotel had heard my complaints from over the years and did it all right here. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. My only slight negative is one of the bed sheets were stained and it just kinda grossed me out. but everythign else was amazing.
Katrina, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Even though the first floor of the hotel was under construction, the room was immaculate, staff were friendly and helpful, and it was very quiet and pleasant. Would recommend staying there.

Bradley, 4-night trip

4/10 Poor

Clean rooms but place was a total mess because of construction. No coffee maker in room, phone didn’t work, shades didn’t go up and down, no breakfast available and was afraid to park in parking lot because of construction trailers and equipment everywhere.

10/10 Excellent

Great place!
Chad, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

You can hear everything. There was a large party staying and they were very loud. Couldn’t take it i had to call the front desk at 4 in the morning. Even after i called it took a little while before it was a little more quiet. The facility was also under construction. The room was nice and spacious. The front desk very helpful and courteous.
Noreen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Property undergoing renovations so some features not available. Room was newly remodeled and clean. Only issue was lack of hot water for shower in morning. Otherwise it is a nice place and will be even better once renovations are finished.
