It is an attractive property. The room was spacious and clean, the TV numerous channels and the bed was comfortable. There was no second bedside table lamp. We did request one and it was never delivered. The toilet needs to be replaced with one that is ADA height and the bathroom should have been completely repainted instead of spot touch-ups. It didn't look good. The room did not have a safe. The property was quiet at night with plenty of parking. The cooling system in the room worked very well.

Courteous staff at check in, check out, and at breakfast. Nice indoor pool 5 ft max depth, open late which was nice. Plenty of towels. Hot tub was occupied by a couple of guys drinking beer and resetting the timer, so I didn't want to intrude. Breakfast had hot and cold options. Standard carb options. Hard boiled eggs, cottage cheese, and mozerella stick options were available. Bed was comfortable, pillows were a bit small and lumpy. Toilet paper needs improvement. Set alarm to wake up in am, but would have been unnecessary as footsteps and vibrations from guest in room above us was extremely noticeable (glad they were sleeping before we checked in?).

Enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The pool water was warm enough even my 2 yr old grand daughter was able to swim! Pool and area around was clean as well as were rooms, hallways, lobby. Did not have to interact with staff much other than via text notifications so check in and check out were smooth and easy. Best experience at a hotel for me personally in years. This one is a WINNER!!

The staff was welcoming and the breakfast was good for our family. Our room on the 2nd floor near the stairs (no elevators) was very musty smelling and the room was humid. I asked about changing rooms, and they said they are all the same due to the recent humid weather. There were mold spots on the vent of the a/c unit- which I cleaned off. I asked for a dehumidifier, and they did not any any. The room and lobby appeared recently renovated in most areas, but there were several drywall cracks, gaps in the bathroom tiles, and a new- but cracked, bathroom sink. One sheet of drywall above one of the beds had not been installed properly- or had fallen a bit and was sagging down about 1/2 inch.

Suite was very large, with plenty of room and much more for two queen beds. Bathroom was fairly small. No places for towels and wash cloths except on the counter, and no towel racks to hang up towels after use. Plenty of room under the counter, which could have been put to use for the towels and hair dryer.

It was clean and the beds were comfortable. However, there is about a flight and a half of stairs to reach second floor, no elevator. The microwave is tucked away in a dark cabinet and about 18” off the floor. I had to have a flashlight and be on my hands and knees to use it. The toilet paper holder is over an arms length away from the stool….no, I don’t have short arms. Just an inconvenience room setup.

Booked a Studio Suite for 6 days and was given a regular room. Called twice to discuss with the manager and was told they were unavailable, never received a call back either. Told by one desk person that ‘technically’ it was a suite….it wasn’t. Had no intention of assisting, just fought with me to save a few bucks. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
