from the time I checked into my room, the lady at the front was very nice and helpful and efficient. My room was very clean modern and very spacious. Very good value to get a nice room with a pool right outside your door while other hotels in the area about 30 to 40% more expensive, if not more good location plenty of parking

Room was very clean, but no hot water second day. Desk agent (Persephone) blamed the city for the outage. No offer to change rooms or any refund. After demanding a shower, she let me use another room and deactivated keys to first room before I could get back to retrieve belongings.

This is my second time staying at your establishment and once again it was a comfy stay. I think her name is Stephanie who was there early in the morning when I came down for breakfast and she is very sweet.

I stay at this property a few times each month. While it's not always perfect, it's always perfectly handled. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The rooms are each unique in the decor, which I like! If there's ever any problems, they are always resolved quickly and with a smile. I will continue to stay here on a regular basis.
