Staff was friendly. Place is well kept, housekeeping also helpful. Only thing I did not care for was not being to control the thermostat. The room was cold when we arrived and had to get help from front desk to get it changed. This was only a minor inconvenience. Everything else was great!

I will say that I had a staycation with me and my girlfriend’s and we hung out. We basically had to do a bunch of setting up for birthday parties birthday parties that we were doing in a local area so we needed a hotel room to stay at just set up and get things acquainted and move in and out when we need to somewhere close by where the parties will be given, and I must say that everything was obstacle we loved it, but we visited again. Yes we would, but for the price the central air was not working on the line, but that we were staying in, but once we call the front desk, they quickly had an AC brought up to the room and it was great after that

When you book this hotel from hotels.com with your card, they will send you another link for you to put your card info in and information. However they STILL want a hard copy card for the hold at the hotel. If you only have tap it won’t work because they aren’t allowed to use the Tap.
