Clean, new building was perfect for a family reunion. Nice breakfast Selection. It was disappointing that the bar in the lobby was closed Saturday evening. There is a grocery store, Starbucks and restaurant all within walking distance.

The hotel was very clean and comfortable. There is a walking path to the baseball complex which was very convenient for early morning games. Only negative would be that the pool was a bit small for the kids to play.

The hotel is brand new so it's very clean and in good condition. The gym was decent. The breakfast was what you expect from free breakfast buffets. The only minor downside was that the pillows were terrible.

Very clean, very nice hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast. The only thing we were not impressed on was that the booking sites do not let you know the pool is only outdoor, and that isn’t super clear on the hotel website either. We had a good stay otherwise, just disappointed it was an outdoor pool.

It was obvious it was a new facility, and things were not all going on all cogs. The biggest disappointment to us was watching tv. We were looking forward to new technology. But for our evening the signal was poor and we could not watch tv hardly at all. Next morning it was okay. But big disappointment. And then there was trouble with coffee machines etc not being useful. We attributed this all to a new facility and it will be honed to be better shortly.

You can tell this hotel is new - very clean and modern. Smells nice. The pool is pretty small and outdoors - but was perfect for a quick swim for the kids in the hot weather. The breakfast was awesome - lots of variety and had lemon/lime water for guests which was a really nice touch. We didn't have any towels in our bathroom, but the front desk brought them right up when we asked for them. Parking is close, which is really nice. Really close to the ball fields we were playing on which was super conveineint. There's also a Starbucks and Kwik Star right across the street which is always nice!

This is the second time I’ve stayed here and walked away disappointed both times. Breakfast wasn’t set out until 7. The door to both rooms I’ve stayed is so hard to open that I don’t think a child could do it. The room temperature wouldn’t regulate. It was either hot or cold. I won’t be returning. For 200.00 for one night they should do better.

I dont recall booking a handicap accessible room (i rechecked my confirmation and it stated "standard king room"), so we think we were assigned one from the front desk. We didnt need an accessible room, and didnt want to make a big deal about so we stayed anyway. Our concern was that someone that needs it checked in after us. We'd never stayed in an accessible room before so it was different.
