Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
For overnight accommodations (our need) this facility was perfect. One minute from the interstate exit to parking spot at the hotel, surrounded by a variety of eateries, the location was perfect. The young man, Tristan, who was working the desk in the lobby greeted us warmly, processed us in quickly, and accommodated a couple of special requests graciously and efficiently. The room looked brand new and was unusually well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast near the lobby was generous and well prepared. We would have been well served here for a more extended stay I am sure; for our overnight stay we could not have asked for a better experience and value.

The fitted sheet didn't stay on, and curled up around us. The flat sheet was thin and worn, and the night was restless. The shower was so forceful, it hurt to let the water hit you.

I did not appreciate housekeeping coming opening my room. It started Saturday at 9:00am using the key to come in the room, mind you it was not even the check day. Stating they were looking for dirty towels. Then on Sunday not only did we have to deal with someone keep knocking on my door all morning. Housekeeping came and opened my room door again at 9 am Saying the hotel checked us out . I will not refer anyone to this hotel. Why would house keep even thinks its ok to use you key to come into someones room? This was unacceptable
