This time of the year it's a battle for sure. We'd need a robotic one sent out every hour to remove the leaves dropping from our oaks.

This place was great. The only complaints are that that the pillows suck (small and overly soft, no head/neck support) and the placement of light fixtures (& maybe bulb wattage) didn’t really provide adequate light. The staff was friendly helpful & great.

Not sure I’d stay again
Daytime front staff were good. Night time one’s not so much. Room was old but clean. Thin walls. I could hear others talking and TVs going. Breakfast was awful. Had to ask for sheets for couch pull out. They did bring them very quickly.

Dear Pamela,I'm so sorry to hear this feedback. Please accept my sincere apology. We were experiencing staff issues with breakfast that we have since resolved. Extra linen for the sofa bed should be in the closet, so I apologize that you had to ask for them. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to restore your faith in us.

Service was good. The shower was good, and hot. The bed was comfy. Breakfast was adequate...as normal. Quiet. The only issue I had, and it was a big one...was the door did not lock. You could push it open, unless you were inside and had the safety latch on. So when I went to breakfast, or to get coffee, my things were not locked up. I told the front desk and they were going t address it.

The Hotel itself was awesome! We got one of the rooms facing towards the University, so any large trucks passing by made a lot of noise. It is very convenient to be near the airport, but it's also VERY loud. Overall we enjoyed our stay ♥

The staff and location was excellent. My only complaint was the cockroach found in the room upon entering. That kind of spoiled the evening due to not feeling comfortable. The lighting in the bathroom was flickering because the bulb needs to be changed. The stay was pleasant afterwards.

My wife and I stayed here for three weeks while our nearby home was undergoing renovations. We liked the fact that we had a kitchen with full-sized appliances. This made eating our meals in the room easy and convenient, especially during this time of the pandemic. On the negative side, the hotel is apparently a home-away-from-home for lots of utility workers; it sometimes seemed that trucks of various types filled up half the parking lot.

Hotel was clean and the room was wonderful, but disappointed that they are using COVID as an excuse to not offer services they advertised for when other hotels in the area still offer the services. This was a higher priced hotel but we were fine with that because it advertised 2 items we were looking for (FREE breakfast buffet and a pool). Only stayed one night as a result. We were disappointed that they had closed the pool area before we checked in "due to COVID" when the website and signs posted on the property said it was open until 10pm. Also disappointed that they advertised a breakfast buffet but only had a grab and go bag with a muffin, orange and granola bar "due to COVID" while other hotels we stayed at in the area were serving hot breakfast buffets and large grab and go options. For this reason we did not stay longer.
