Great stay!

The hotel was very clean and well-maintained. Our kids especially enjoyed the pool, which was family-friendly and a great way to relax. The room was comfortable and nicely set up. The only downside for us was that the mattress was a bit too firm for our preference, but aside from that, everything was excellent.

The afternoon receptionist was awesome. Everything was good for the check in. But the morning receptionist was not, it seemed that she did not like her job, she greeted us like if she was making us a favor. She needs to have a better attitude. (It was the girl with the huge ass lashes. )

Solid hotel

- Customer service was solid. They did ask for card info for incidental however. - Hotel condition was good. Some minor wear and tear seen throughout the property. - Room was clean. Checked for bed bugs. Be glad to know they got no bugs. Had a small stain in the bathtub though. - Ice machine works. - Pool was clean and clean. - Hot breakfast is solid. Usually I pass by other Sleep Inn properties and they usually look very questionable, however this property is 👌. Would recommend here if you looking for a place to rest.
