10/10 Exceptional

Amazing service upgraded room to top floor over looking the city. Gorgeous accommodations!
Don, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Clean & comfortable at an excellent rate. Breakfast choices were sparse, though—cereal, toast, and yogurt plus some prepackaged muffins. Nothing hot, no waffle maker, no fruit.
Patrick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not spectacular

The rooms appeared clean and fairly well taken care of, although old. There was adequate supply of toiletries and clean towels. The tv remote and ac controls were dirty. Unfortunately, the beds were like bricks. We could not get comfortable and left exhausted. The "light breakfast " was more of a non-breakfast snackbar. It wasn't a breakfast by any stretch of the imagination. Also the coffee was kind of awful.
Barbara, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, friendly place. Have stayed there before and would definitely stay there again.
john, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly and Clean

Quick efficient friendly welcoming check-in. It was very evident they stressed keeping their rooms very clean. The breakfast was just ok but no complaints. Multiple staff were very friendly during check in and check out.

8/10 Very good

Overall the room was clean, spacious, and wee kept, however the toilet seat was very loose, the TV remote did not work, and the curtains did not completely close

Great stay for a Family visit, good Pool
Stefan, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

The lobby was beautiful and not what I expected. Although located right on the highway there was very little noise. (I had the room farthest away from the road.) It was clean and comfortable, although nothing spectacular, I thought it was great value for the price.
Arthur, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It waa easy axxess and parking. Wish it had a tub also in the bathroom.
Lisa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our stay. Be back next year
Lisa, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Cheap stay and it felt that way

Overall, it is a cheap place to stay with relatively clean amenities. The sink drained very slowly in our room, which was our biggest aggravation and there weren’t enough towels for two adults and two kids as stated in our reservation. However, we feel overall we got what we paid for. If you go for “breakfast,” go early. When the coffee is gone, it doesn’t get refilled and the same applies to anything else they serve. We were there to visit family, so it was just a place to sleep and shower. It met our needs, so mission accomplished.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff
jon, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff and convenient for our 3-day event. Though linens and towels were all clean, the mattresses were old and saggy. The walk-in shower was a nice amenity, as well as solid wifi and tv service.
