Excellent customer service! The staff could not have been more accommodating to our group! Rooms are clean. Breakfast was tasty. Shontel working the reception desk was AMAZING!! 👏👏👏
Amanda, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was over all nice, every time we walked back in the room it smelled stinky a little bit but other than that the stay was good. The location was nice and close to a lot of things.

Everything smelled very clean and the breakfast was awesome. The girls that managed the breakfast area did a wonderful job! I wish there was an ice machine in every floor.

6/10 Good

Comfortable but….

The beds and pillows were comfortable . Staff was very nice. The room had black mold in the bathroom both on the walls and in the shower. There were beer tabs and trash behind the chair in the room.

Bath tub had hair in it and was sub par to what we usually stay in!

8/10 Very good

It was an average stay, the bed was comfortable the breakfast was great! The only thing is the pool was closed so I think they should have lowered their rate a bit, because that amenity wasn’t available. The cleanliness was ok. When walking into the front doors it would help the place look better if the windows were clean.
Vicki, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We just needed clean place, a comfy bed, and a warm shower and this was fine for this. They didn't have any bottled water and that was kind of a bummer but not a really big deal.
Erin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As a business traveler with a truck and trailer, my biggest concern everywhere I go is the safety of my truck and customer product onboard. ZERO complaints for here. Very friendly and accommodating. I will continue to stay when coming through the area.

Clean, but smelled musty
Cynthia, 1-night trip

Comfortable beds but not clean

Room had a smell to it. Carpets in the room were very dirty and stained. Beds were comfortable and loved pillows. Did not get much sleep because of all the noise in the hallway.
