The room was very nice! Very roomy, king bed, sofa, refrigerator is double the size of the usual room refrigerator, microwave oven, desk, color tv, nice bathroom and the water coming out of the shower head felt great! The room looked recently renovated. The complimentary breakfast buffet is also very nice. The staff is very friendly and service oriented. The only negative is the housekeeping was late to clean rooms. We were out of the room by early to mid morning and would come back in mid to late afternoon and the room had not been cleaned yet and we did not have the sign on the door to skip cleaning.

Our stay was so pleasant! The staff was so nice, helpful, and friendly. Devonte, Jayla, Adrianna, and Denise were just so amazing! Devonte helped me with my reservation when we had an illness in the family. The front desk representatives (Jayla and Adrianna) were the best, and Denise had a beautiful, bright smile every morning at breakfast. We were there for three nights and our room was perfect. It was a really great vacation! I would highly recommend this location if you are looking for a clean, comfortable, quiet location.
