Reginald at the front desk treated me like family. He was very kind and patient. He needs to be regional manager or get a huge pay raise. The staff checked in on me during me stay which was nice too.

I booked a double queen room for 3 teenagers and myself. When I got there to check in, they had no double queens left. Only a king with a pullout. Frustrating to say the least….nice property tho and lots of breakfast options.
