Front desk staff was great. Our first room did not have a working AC/heat, so front desk allowed us to switch rooms. Second room was better, but there were stains on the carpet & sheets. Would like to have a cleaner/renovated hotel.

Nice property, but overall the staff was very friendly and that’s what I always look for. Something could be wrong with hotel, but as long as staff is friendly and helpful that’s a big plus.

Pleasantly surprised how nice, quiet and well maintained this property was. But what really made 5 stars was the wonderful front desk person named Tamyra. She was fantastic in all key areas. She had a wonderful personality and was so attentive. Would love to showcase her in how to make guests feel welcome video. Yes, she was that good!

The desk staff was awesome- friendly, attentive to needs, even over Christmas. The room, however, was disappointing. It felt very damp and smelly like mildew. The water pressure at the sink was barely a trickle. The workout room didn’t have cups for the water dispenser, and the air conditioning didn't work.

everything was great except for the breakfast the egg pancakes a lot of process foods. I’m a little bit more picky but greatly appreciate they do offer hot breakfast. Just have very sensitive stomach. Otherwise cleaning this pool the gym everything was very nice and so was the stuff.
