Our room smelled bad. The hotel was empty and they gave us room number 209, view of all the ac units outside of our window when the hotel was mostly empty for a Thursday night on May 29, 2025. Loved the roof at the check in floor as it was raining. Would love to have cut up fresh fruit and bacon on the breakfast buffet.

The hotel had been recently updated. Clean rooms. Breakfast could have been better. I asked for clean towels and got was asked to deliver my used towels to dirty towel cart. Seemed a little rude and no interest in delivering the towels although the housekeeper was in the hallway.

Disliked: Room comfort

Wouldn’t stay again

Bed was extremely uncomfortable and the highway noise was overpowering. I sleep with a sound machine and could still hear the cars/trucks going by. Also disappointing that the hot tub was out of service. That’s one reason I booked here and I couldn’t even use it.
