Me and my son stayed here because we were visiting family nearby. The hotel is very nice. Near everything, restaurants, shopping, movie theater, etc. The breakfast and being able to enjoy the indoor pool was the best parts.

About 20-25 family members have stayed at this location every fall for several years for a family reunion nearby. The parking is convenient; staff is always friendly; rooms are great--decorations and bedding are always nice and up to date; cleaning service is great; kids love the indoor pool & hot tub; several stores and restaurants are within walking distance. We highly recommend it!!

We had stayed at this property before, but were pleasantly surprised with the improvements and upgrades we noticed. Especially noteworthy the spa and very nice pool that make relaxing after a tiring trip so much easier. What made the biggest impression, however, was the wonderful coffee(!!) and the friendliness of the kitchen/breakfast area staff. The whole area is very neat, clean, well equipped, nicely furnished!

This hotel was perfect for our stay. I noticed right as we walked down the hallway that everything not only looked but smelled clean (one of my cringe things in a lot of places). The room was updated very nicely and laid out comfortably. Breakfast was delicious and the staff was so friendly. To top it off we got a nice email from the operations manager inquiring on our stay...one that actually allowed for a reply- which I gladly gave to commend him and his staff. Definitely worth going to a smallish town we hadn't heard of.

The room was clean and comfortable. The bed and pillows were great. The only issue was the room darkening blinds for our room were broken and couldn't be lowered, so the very bright lights from the neighboring car dealership shined in as we tried to fall asleep. We didn't realize this until we were headed to bed around midnight so we didn't call the front desk because we didn't want a room change at that hour.

The hotel was very clean and the day clerk was very nice. What I didn’t like was how the night clerk was rude. She should watch how she speak/address people, especially adults. We are not her children. Despite her rudeness and unprofessionalism, I would stay there again.
