Despite being fully booked, the front staff was very helpful and offered us a discount on future stays because there was a vent fan above the door in our room that was blowing noisily, apparently no way to turn it off! The room was clean and comfortable, we managed despite the noise from the vent.

Nice hotel for a night's stay while traveling thru. Coffee available in the morning (maybe all day, not sure). HVAC unit was a little loud, but did the job.

Very convenient. Very close to dining and shopping opportunities. Very close to entertainment opportunities. Had some trouble getting into the parking lot according to google maps but that's probably more of a google maps issue.

I was very disappointed at check in, I had requested a first floor room close to an exit. My husband is 76 years old and has difficulty walking even with his cane and he’s a heavy smoker. It was very inconvenient being put on 2nd floor and him negotiating the elevator. We will never return to this facility.

Only received one room key for 3 people. Only one wash cloth, two towels, and no bath mat to step on out of the shower. The breakfast was very good.

We were not given towels or bedding for the sofa when we checked into our hotel. We werent told the staff was behind and found out when we got to the room and there was a notice in the bathroom. We went back downstairs to ask for bedding and towels, were told we would get them delivered later. Went back to the room, hand soap was out. Called back to ask for hand soap too. Was told we would get that and towels/bedding delivered soon. Recieved a call from our room saying the lobby just got really busy. An hour later someone delivered bedding and shampoo, no towels and hand soap. They said they would be right back. An hour later we were delivered a pillow (we did not ask for) and hand soap, still now towels. Then later that night we were finally delivered some towels at around 11 that night, after checking in at 8:30. I dont blame the person that was trying to do everything, but if staff is that short and behind and rooms aren't ready dont make a room available. Breakfast was pretty good, there was warm food choices.

Nothing to complain about, I mean nothing. from check-in to check out I literally had nothing to complain about. And that my friend doesn’t happen often, just ask my wife. But seriously, they get a 100 out of 100. Young man at the front desk was pleasant and professional, and everything about our stay was just perfect. Highly recommend this property. tell your staff to keep up the great work, Bravo! Sean

Nice place to stay for overnight family visit
Great location close to the interstate. Quick, friendly check in/check out. Helpful breakfast staff who made sure the items were replaced as needed. Room was comfortable and had adequate space. We did not use the pool or fitness areas but they appeared clean and well maintained. We would stay here again.
