Room was horrible. Smelled of dampness and room was very musty. Carpet felt wet under your feet so we couldn’t even walk on it without shoes on. Even the bedding felt damp. All our belongings had the smell in them when we left that we could still smell it in our car. To me it could almost pass as a cat urine smell. Hotel needs to do a deep clean in that room and put a dehumidifier in it to get the dampness completely out. We were so tired we fought through it but wish we had gotten up in the middle of the night and complained. We even asked the desk clerk for air spray to help as we thought it would work. We were wrong. In addition, it was not noted the pool was not available when reservation was made and did not find out until we arrived. Others were also complaining about that at checkout. On a good note breakfast was good.

We did not use the pool but talked to a family who did and they said the same. Other hotels should come here for tanning on how to maintain a wonderful place!!

Great value for the money- they didn’t have connecting rooms which made it a little more inconvenient for our family with young kids but the facility was clean and comfortable.

This hotel is nice , clean and simple. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nice. I looked at reviews and online and saw no indication the pool was closed which is why we booked . But it was temporarily closed for our safety I was told . There was a decent selection during breakfast, but the eggs all tasted weird or were extremely hard. The apple juice also seemed to be old or overly concentrated. Pick the waffles and coffee.

I found a bed bug in the bathroom after showering in the morning. I showed the bug to the desk clerk and he confirmed that it was in fact a bed bug. It was the only one that I found, but obviously there could have been more and it caused me extra work to attempt to insure that I do not take them into my home. Will not stay there again.

The room was very nice. Newer hotel. Easy check-in. Got a recommendation from staff for dinner which was great. Breakfast was pretty good. You have to appreciate a waffle maker lol. The only complaint I would have which is small were the pillows on the bed. They were the size of throw pillows and not that comfortable. Otherwise great stay!

Our day was generally good. However, there is poor soundproofing between floors, and it sounded like there was a basketball team running up and down the hallway above us most of the night.

I was disappointed with the atmosphere. It eas so noisy. The hotel is located along major highway and it's noisy. There was a dog across the hall that barked, people in the room next door, had a loud TV and I could hear conversation. Which means the walls are thin. Had to get up at 6:30 and needed sleep. Very fitful night. Front Desk was called and they offered a different room. But it was 10:00 PM and we were settled in.

I was on a scooter because not being able to put any weight on my left leg. The power went out next morning and I had to go down 3 flights of stairs. But hotel employees were very helpful and management made sure I was satisfied even though it wasn’t anything they could have controlled. I’ve always had very good experience staying there.

The staff was amazong. Not sure of the gals name woth the super short blonde hair. But she was amazing. My 5 yr old got sick diring our stay and she made sure we were moved to a clean room and had all the extras we needed and made sure to help me out with locations of where to get things and delivery services. Staff was kind and responsive. Had to go downstairs and couldnt manage to get anyone on the phone. But not a huge deal. Breakfast was good when we did eat, those mini omlettes are fire.

It was nice but a little worn. It was very noisy, located at the intersection of two highways with a lot of truck traffic. Also is right next to railroad tracks and when a train went past it was very loud and you even could feel the vibration as it passed.
