The staff was very friendly and helpful. I just did not like being in a room without a window, and it was not as clean as expected. There was a turned over soda can on the side of the bed by the wall, and guy who helped us said our room was the last one to be cleaned; that is not clean and one of our pillow cases was dirty too.

I enjoyed my stay here. The hospitality was incredible. I have to say when they mentioned breakfast was available I assumed it would be your typical frozen eggs heated but Kevin was amazing. You can taste the hospitality on the food. Megan the GM was amazing as well. I ended up staying here for new years and both Kevin and Megan made it feel like home!
