The room was clean and had all the amenities I needed. It would be a nice touch to have complimentary water in the room or offered at check-in along with a cookie. :) The staff were very friendly, and there’s complimentary coffee available in the lobby as well as plenty of parking. There’s a good restaurant onsite, but not much else close by, you’ll need to drive at least 10 minutes for other options.

The room above us was very noisy with kids. We ignored it but at night it was difficult especially since many rooms were vacant. Why were we placed like this? Our room's floor hadnt recently been cleaned. There was a film on it making your feet dirty. The shower was clean but def needs updating. Thank you for everything.

Location is east of town but OK. Seems to recently refurbished inside. Landscaping is unimpressive. Be sure you know breakfast is not included and that the “ cafe” in the lobby is not worth considering. Staff were pleasant. Restaurant was fine.

Everything was wonderful. The room was clean. The restaurant was so good, reasonably priced and very nice staff. The hotel was very quiet which was really nice. The tv was interesting but once we figured it out it was ok. We would have really liked it if the restaurant had been open for breakfast.
