From how we were greeted (friendly, helpful!) to the nice, clean quiet room (5th floor!) - our stay for 2 nights was great. The free breakfast was nice - different options on the 2 mornings we used it. There is a nice looking fitness center and an indoor pool. (we are old and did not use either of these :-) )

Honestly, that was the most unwelcome I’ve ever felt at a motel front desk. Lady was extremely rude. I was looking forward to staying at a new motel. She was being very rude made me type in all my own information which isn’t something somebody wants to do after driving to travel, and then on top of that, she just handed me the keys And walked away didn’t tell me where my room was didn’t tell me where the elevators were didn’t tell me about breakfast just walked away and on top of that the parking lot is overpopulated if you come in past 10 o’clock, you’re parked on the side of the road. I had to park on the side of the road and I came out my freshly, detailed car was covered in grass because There was no room to park. There’s nowhere to park The parking lot was unreal. The room was fine and all that but that service then

We had a very nice stay. I booked 3 rooms for our family and in-laws booked 3 as well. The check in was very quick and efficient. The staff at the desk were quick , efficient and very friendly. The property was clean. Breakfast was great! So many options to chose from. The gym was a good size with a lot of different equipment and it was clean. The pool was closed but we weren’t using it so it was fine. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Upon arrival, the front desk greeted and checked us in promptly, provided guidance on hotel, and was very pleasant. The next morning, breakfast service was excellent, with clean seating and serving area's. The options for breakfast were great, catering to everyone. We stayed 2nd floor, near the end stairwells and used those several times during our stay, there were 2 steps that were missing the rubber tread guard. The king room was comfortable and accommodating for a 1 night stay. Mini fridge was convenient, but did have an odor. Though we did not use the pool or gym this trip, both were a decent size, with nice blue towels provided. The back patio was beautiful. Really a highlight of the property that we took advantage of, from the lovely pergolas strung with lights and comfy furniture to lounge, to the bar height seating at the fire pit table, it truly sparked! Would recommend this hotel for long or short term stays.

I had to have a knee surgery done, so we spent the night. Location was very convenient to the Surgical Center. Pool was very nice, we had it to ourselves, but even had others been there, it was good size for a hotel.

We booked this hotel for the outdoor space- patio, grills, fire tables, etc- Due to the weather-rain,rain,rain we were unable to use it. It looked nice though. The open area/dining are was very nice- we were able to sit at a big table and play some games. Bed was not comfortable. Both my husband and i woke up each morning with sore backs-something we usually don’t have. Breakfast was scarce-hot food was usually not filled/empty, dried out/plain. Waffles not available- must just be a weekend thing?? Saw them Sunday morning then never again. Close to shopping, food, tons of close restaurants. New looking, clean. Every other day housekeeping is a bad idea especially given the cost to stay- not a fan at all.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was exceptionally clean and very comfortable, making it easy to relax after a long day. The outdoor space is beautiful and well maintained — perfect for enjoying a quiet morning coffee or unwinding in the evening. The location couldn’t be better, with everything I needed just a short drive away. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

3 day stay. On day 2 requested a change of towels only 3 separate times and it never happened. The next day we left the DND placard off the door figuring they would come in and clean the room and then change the towels. They did not. When checking out the next day they eventually refunded the cheapest of the three days as compensation.

As I already told the hotel, everything was fine until I wanted to check out and was ignored by the clerk who was talking on the phone for ten minutes and would not deal with the customer standing right in front of her. If Bonvoy was working, I would have used it to check out, but it wasn't, leaving me to the mercy of an ill-trained desk clerk. I slapped my key on the desk and left. I still don't think she gets the message, and since I didn't receive a reply from management, I don't think they care.
