Checking in was easy lady that checked us in was very welcoming and nice. Rooms were quiet, beds comfortable and room over all clean, the pool was a bit outdated the elevators were also a bit old. A lot of parking space, Sar was very sweet and nice in the dining area. The staff was all very nice and welcoming all except a guy named Christian, he just looked not welcoming at all and very annoyed. Anyways our over all stay to the hotel was 4.5 stars I would def stay again.

Good Hotel. Don’t Buy The Breakfast

Hotel was pretty standard. The breakfast that we had to pay for wasn’t worth it. Raw biscuits, cold food that should be hot, and very limited selection. Could have spent the same amount at a restaurant and gotten better food.
