Stayed 3 nights at this hotel. Staff was very accommodating when they extended my two night stay to three nights. However, our two queen bed room was very small, our refrigerator didn’t work, and the TV service kept dropping out. We would not stay at this property again.

We were greeted by "V" and "Z" very friendly young ladies at the front desk! This was a very last minute passing by reservation to just get some rest after a lond day of traveling. We were not disappointed at all, everything is very clean and comfortable! The room fit our families needs perfectly. Great experience we will definitely stay here again if we are passing through!

Limited handicap rooms and they gave us a room a long way from the lobby. We didn't like how the hallways were made with upward and downward slopes. This wasn't ideal for someone with mobility issues. My daughter fell in the hallway when trying to walk to our room.

Overall it met our needs for the night

Overall this Hotel met all of our needs....the breakfast was great. The room was a little cramped and hard to walk between the bed and additional furniture. The second floor had something sticky on it that extended from the elevator down the hallway. No major complaints.

Close to family convenience. Close to dining and shopping. Spacious rooms, open breakfast area, decent coffee. Third floor room away from lower activities. Outdoor pool area disgusting. Late nighters entering noisily with loud talking. Microwave would have been useful.
