This was my second stay in the same month and my experience was just as good as the first. The room was exceptionally clean and staff wonderfully helpful and kind. The proximity to highways, local services, and the college make this an ideal location for parents who are visiting their children.

When we first got there, we were worried that it wasn't going to be a good stay. Luckily, the hotel was better than the first impression. Walk in and it kind of had an old hotel smell but looked really nice. The lady at check in was nice and let us check in early. She did not give is any info regarding our stay, such as Wi-Fi info, pool hours or breakfast hours. The hallway was hot and the carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a while which made us worried about our room condition. Great news, our room was actually really nice and clean.
