7.4/10 Good! (763 reviews)

Walking in after a long day I was met with a clean lobby, a clean smell and wonderful staff. All of my questions were answered regarding things around the area and the hotel but he was so sweet. I will give a heads up, they are renovating!! Everything is nice and clean and new but there was a couple hiccups in the room that come with renovations and finding the kinks along the way. Nothing that was trip ending, just things that make you giggle. Staff was made aware and they were so sweet and apologized when it wasn’t necessary. Will be coming back on our next trip to the area for sure!

Disgusting food served n pancakes were like rubber and the linen had a coffee stain on it and the door wouldn't shut all the way no privacy at all very quick at rude responses and communication was treated as if guests were a burden for the people I think they live there at hotel so if so then that would mean that treat everyone like crap because it s always a burden to get interrupted while ur at home
