Staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was able to check in a little early with a call ahead. Hotel was clean as was the room. The hotel seems to have gone through some recent renovations and/or upgrades and provided a peaceful and relaxing space. Stayed on the fourth floor where windows are in line with highway above so some highway noise in the background. It wasn’t an issue for me but it may be for some others. Was delighted to find out the windows were able to be slid open a crack to let some fresh breeze through. Air conditioner worked well. Simple breakfast bar with fruit, cereals, and bagels. Apple and orange juice with coffee and tea as well as a machine that dispenses yogurt with various topping options on the side. Hotel noise was minimal even with quite a few guests being booked. Clean pool with hot tub that seemed to be a hot attraction. Would recommend in the future.

The manager treated guest with respect and professionalism. The facilities were spotless and the breakfast employee always went beyond the call of duty when requested with a smile despite several mishaps from children present. Housekeeping staff dedicated to supplying a quality stay. Dog and pet friendly which is a plus for people that consider their pets as family. What I didn't like - There should be a sign for gratuities for the breakfast host. She works hard notice is deserved and recognized as I observed not a one person even gave a gracious thank you to this person. Housekeeping traditionally receives some tipping from those that care so should the hostess. Only bad thing was the hard boiled eggs could not be peeled without eating shells . We tried four eggs to no avail and notified manager who took the time to answer our text and welcome us by text as well. I would definitely recommend this location to anyone wanting a class stay. Pool was nicely heated and the warm Jacuzzi was a plus. Thank you for a great stay and our dog thanks you as well for allowing him to be present

We would stay again. The breakfast could use some help. Bread for toast and maybe something to make pancakes or waffles would be nice. However, the pool was awesome - warm and clean, plus the hot tub was wonderful to relax in. The overall hotel was clean and the staff friendly.

Classic case of "you get what you pay for". It's clean and modern, breakfast is included and the entire staff is helpful. The televisions however, do not work. We only got about 2 local channels and were just told the tvs are old. There is hardly ever anyone at the desk. The sliding entrance doors locked up at one point leaving me stuck at the entrance until someone returned to the desk. If you can afford more than pay more and skip the hassle.

The staff was friendly, the facilities were spotless, and every detail of the stay felt well taken care of. From check-in to our last night, everything was close to perfect. The only downside came on the day of checkout. Room service kept knocking and checking in multiple times before our scheduled departure, which felt a bit intrusive and disrupted what should have been a relaxed end to an otherwise flawless stay. That being said, I would still highly recommend this hotel. If they could improve the checkout experience by giving guests a bit more space and time, it would truly be a five-star experience.

Very poor stay. We stayed on the second floor and had a extremely noisy neighbor with kids running around and banging on walls with loud TV. We called the Front Desk asking anything can done. We called an additional 3 times from the night into the morning. They did not offer us another room, nor a discount. They said they would do something about the noise, but never did. Subpar and lazy service. Not staying here, and not recommending this specific hotel to anyone.

I liked everything about the hotel it was clean neat the staff was friendly it was adequate. My only complaint is that it was very difficult to find on a dark rainy night because they do not have a sign long the highway and the hotel sits behind another building. I drove 5 miles past it and had to turn around and come back and eventually found it. Sign on the road would be very advantageous to guests arriving at night.

We stayed at this hotel when it was Microhtel. The interior of the hotel looks great, new carpeting, new furniture in rooms. Our disappointment was in the breakfast. The only hot items were toasted bread and bagels. I was surprised there were no waffles or scrambled eggs. No big deal for us, we went to a local diner for breakfast. There should be some nontification that you do not serve a hot breakfast.

Great for a one night stay. Room did feel a little snug but the beds were VERY comfortable. Staff was kind and helpful! They couldn’t have done more to make your stay enjoyable. Coffee & Tea was available 24/7. My only thought is with one elevator, it can take a while to get up and down, especially at busy times. Take the stairs if you can. Also, the breakfast is small, so you won’t have a waffle machine or toast. However, they have a bagel bar and yogurt bar - all were very yummy! Like I said, excellent for a quick one night stop. Very clean, friendly, and easy access to the main roads.
