8.6/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Hotel rooms were nice but the hotel itself needs some maintenance. Hotel front door missing door knob. Hole in bathroom wall. Adjoining restaurant was good. Bathroom sinks are very small and located in bedroom versus bathroom.

9/10 Wonderful! (590 reviews)

I chose this hotel for the location, which met my needs for this trip. The beds were adequate. The walls were thin. The bathroom was enormous but had a pedestal sink and nowhere to put my toiletries. There were no towel bars or hooks for the towels. The free breakfast was just ok.

8.8/10 Excellent! (213 reviews)

Stay was excellent-except the family staying above me was absurdly loud until well after 12am, and late at night did something that created a horrible dripping noise in the walls. Property itself was great and the property manager was extremely friendly and helpful-but that family ruined my last night with loud talking, children yelling, and parents arguing.
