"The room was lovely and well cleaned and kept clean with the help of staff. The food was delicious. The complimentary breakfast was wonderful with kids and the dinner was also yummy and appreciated after long days where we didn’t want to bother going out again. The pool was perfectly clean and the hot tub is huge. We accidentally locked ourselves out of our room and they gave us a third key with no problems at all. Hands down, the nicest stay I’ve ever had a hotel."

"This was my first time here, and I would definitely come back. It is clear that this is a property in transition - my room seemed brand new, and the rooms across the hall were under full remodel mode. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The rooms large, comfortable, clean and remodeled. Housekeeping came every day. For the price, this place really can't be beat if you're just looking for a place to sleep for a night or a week... My only wish is that they had a larger parking lot. The lot filled up on the weekend and I had to park on the street (no big deal.)"
