Room was clean, staff was friendly

Friendly desk person.
Abigail, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We were very disappointed at check-in when they charged us a $100 deposit for the room that we had paid for in advance. It rather spoiled the stay.
Curt, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

For the overall stay there are cheaper options.

Check in took almost 20 min. Not because of me but the guy in front of me having issues with something. And when I got back to our room from going out that night they had no parking available on the property. Even the semi parking was full with vehicles. And there were several other people that showed up after me trying to find a spot. Clearly they have way more rooms than parking.

Ok place

My key to the room stopped working, they quickly rekeyed it but it was inconvenient. The parking is tight for bigger vehicles. The rooms overlooking the highway are loud.

2/10 Poor

Not highly recommended.

Young lady who checked us in super sweet. The hotel tub needs to be bleached. We didn’t sleep and left early no showers as no thank you to the bathroom. I don’t recommend.

Would stay there again

Check in was a little slow, but he was a new employee still in training. The room was very nice and the bed was very comfortable. I definitely would stay there again
Randelle, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The staff is friendly and the beds are very comfortable. The only set back was the hotel smelled like a old folks home which is a real turn off.
Greg, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cozy rooms

Staff very friendly, John the night auditor provided great customer service. This is one of my favorite places to stay, even though I get an employee discount for a major brand. This property is well maintained coming from someone who does building repair.
