Friendly, helpful service

The woman working at the desk was very friendly, professional, and helpful. We asked for some suggestions of good places to eat nearby, and she gave us information of places she knew well. We tried those and had very good food and good service as well, along with ease of getting to the place. Much appreciated!

Wonderful service!

My daughter and I drove 6 hours to see Hamilton and when we checked in, exhausted and ready to put our feet up. Jodi took excellent care of us. She was kind, patient and even upgraded our room. Just because. Everyone we encountered was fantastic and friendly, breakfast was delicious and would definitely come back!

Great location, Good hotel

Room was huge and very nice. Bed was okay, pillows were blah, I need to start bringing my own, room was very clean, we asked for a room on the top floor away from the elevator and was put on the 2nd floor by the elevator, walls were very thin and you could hear doors shutting all night, people laughing and talking outside the room because we were by the elevator, kids running above us, but all and all it was a good stay. I would stay here again, but bring my own pillow and make sure I call in and make my request known about the location of the room I prefer.
