Our room was spacious and very clean: bathroom, linens, refrigerator. We didn't use any of the common areas other than passing through. The staff was so pleasant & went out of their way to be helpful. As we were checking out, there weren't any luggage carts available so they had someone bring a kitchen cart. He loaded our luggage from the room, brought it down, and loaded it in the car. Would stay there again!

For me, the location was great. I did like that. There was an on-site bar. I just wish that there were more food choices. I had the wings cause I was told that they were one of their number one items and unfortunately, they were overcooked. Overall, the staff was super amazing and very helpful while I was there. This is one of my go to places when I visit my son who attends school there. I’m sure I will be back, but I will definitely be eating elsewhere.
