It was good as usual. Not outstanding but fair for the price paid. Breakfast had limited offerings, very few cereal choices, just high calorie ones. Better than Super 8 but not as good as Fairfield and others. Staff was helpful. Pool was nice.

We had stayed in this property several years ago, I had said I would never stay again. Management is poor and quite rude. Room was poor, paint peeling, mattress was in very poor condition, carpet had large stains. The hot tube still is not working, as was the case several years ago it is roped off. While swimming there were no lights on in the pool area, then there was a bright flash & loud boom from the mechanical room, not comforting. NEVER AGAIN. Screw me once, shame on you. Screw me twice, shame on me.

We only stayed for one night. In town for a wedding. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. Front desk check in and out was quick and efficient. Breakfast was 6 or 7 to 9. Small standard breakfast. Overall great stay.

I messed up and made the reservation for the wrong day. The guy at the front desk made it happen for me, even though I paid through a third party. I can't thank him enough. The hottub was down for maintenance, but the 92 degree water temp pool and the suana more than made up for it. I'll definitely stay there again.

The staff was very nice and wanted to please. Easy to enter from back or front entrances. It was clean and the a/c unit did a nice job. A dire need of an update. …new pillows, carpet, furnishings. Breakfast was lacking in the nutrition department and variety.

Receptionist was very kind and considerate of our late check-in, offering extended pool hours and recommending late night eateries near by. We were very weary of the dark location of establishment but receptionist calmed our worries and ensured us this was a safe location. We had no mishaps and will definitely be visiting again.

It would have been nice to have let us know the hot tub was being worked on with hammer drills making the pool area a dusty environment when we booked. Also the breakfast could use more fruit other than an apple. Otherwise the rooms were clean and quiet and the beds were very comfortable.
