The hotel room was clean and comfortable. The staff were pleasant and a bonus that it was pet-friendly. The area the hotel is in can feel unsafe but there’s a 24 hour security guard. Overall, it served as a good one night stop on my cross country road trip.

This hotel and prooerty location were ok at best, first off I had no idea 2 of the floors were being used as a rehab facility. With that being said i didn't not feel safe here but I was also shocked to see security set up in the lobby so that made for an interesting first impression. The good. The hotel lobby halls and pool were nice and clean and heated, the sauna was also clean.

This hotel has attempted to update and upgrade the experience but it falls short on a number of fronts The rooms are clean but have a lingering smell of cigarette smoke that we disguised with a scented candle. Tolerable but not perfect The rooms have been updated but the bathroom is tiny ( you need to close the door to sit on the toilet), the vanity surface is the size of a side plate, but the shower has been updated , is clean and spacious The TV is an older 32” screen and the remote is old and feeble They only clean and service the rooms once a week (on Wednesday) unless a guest checks out. But they don’t empty the garbage or stock the vanity items or change the towels during the stay The best part of the experience was the front desk staff. He was wonderful

Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, Michael. On behalf of our entire team, we would like to apologize for failing to exceed your expectations. We sincerely wish you've addressed the issue with smell in your room right away, so we could find better alternatives for you immediately, as we should. As in many other hotels, our housekeeping service is currently operating on on-demand basis. It seems like you hadn't been informed of this upon check-in, which will be a subject for follow-up with the staff member who had checked you in. Unfortunately, usage of candles (or any open flame, as the matter of fact) is highly prohibited in hotels, as it poses a fire hazard. This being said, you will not be permitted to stay at our property in the future. We wish you all the best in your future travels!

Great hotel! Staff was super friendly and helpful, especially the guy working maintenance, I believe his name was Justin. The rooms were clean, spacious and nice. The kids loved the pool area. The location is not the greatest but they did have security to address that issue. Will definitely stay there again.

Beautiful facilities. Very clean. Easy to find our room. Restaurant had limited hours for our Sunday check in, though there is a cafe across the street that was open. Grocery store close too as well as a bunch of other shops to check out. Great location, though some transients passing (loudly) through the parking lot was noticed. Think my car took a ding while parked; unwitnessed however.

This hotel has an excellent management team. My original stay was cancelled do to a storm. I called the hotel and the person at the front desk was very understanding. I wasn’t charged for calling after 6pm for the same day stay. I was happy to re-book 2 days later when our trip plans changed again. We were very impressed with the staff and the resultant as well.
