The staff was so accommodating and professional! Rooms were extremely clean! Soft towels. Great breakfast. Quick service if you need anything brought to room. I wasnt crazy about the area but it was quite, no issues at all. The channels and tv were great.. lots of HBO! Think private walls! I was pleasantly suprised and would definitely stay there again!!! Thank you for a great stay!

The staff on the property were phenomenal, professional, and kind, it’s just unfortunate the hotel itself wound up being a little less than satisfactory. Wall paper coming off the walls, broken fixtures, leaking water, ants. You have to request housekeeping, it’s not done automatically each day. Overall it was an ok stay for us because we only needed a place to sleep and we’re gone all day doing other things. Pool and hot tub nice additions plus your basic continental breakfast.

I liked the location, however, they have cockroaches and they don’t clean the rooms. We ran out of towels and toilet paper and they didn’t bring us any or clean the roll after requesting it multiple times. I would not stay there again!

Don't Recommend thumbs down

The most overpriced stay at a motel ever. The rooms were dated, pool/hot tub not in service, sink made a screeching sound everytime you turned it on. the carpet was filty and the room smelled mildewy. Will nevr stay again.
