We were able to check in a little after noon, hotel is comfortable. Has free cold water and coffee 24/7 in the lobby. Breakfast was okay, but the beds were soft, fluffy and we slept good! Pool wasn’t heated though.

Probably the easiest and quickest check in I have ever experienced. Room and all inside areas clean (I won't stay at a place if they are dirty), outside area was clean, lots of parking, very quiet in the room and everywhere we went, breakfast wasn't bad, the guys loved the cinnamon rolls, and chocolate milk was a big hit with the littles.

Disappointed the indoor pool was not open. It was not noted when we booked the reservation. That was big reason we chose this hotel. Hotel was very nice and brand new. Should discount the price since no pool was available.

Everything appeared to be clean and in excellent condition. However, the air conditioner did not work all night. It appeared to be controlled by someone else at night as it kept shutting off but in the morning it worked fine. We were traveling with another couple who had the same problem in their room. Both rooms stayed locked at 74 degrees and stuffy.

This was a nice hotel. Quiet, even though it appeared to have a lot of people staying. Quick check-in and was able to check in an hour earlier. Typical room. Was clean, comfortable bed. Roomy. I was given my request for a top floor room. The big surprise was the AMC theater right across the parking lot. With not much else to do other than dinner somewhere we did take in a movie. So convenient. Close to restaurants and other shopping. On the outskirts of town, so not in downtown which was fine. The breakfast was typical free breakfast, but it was FREE which is great since many places are either not offering free breakfast or charging for it. I'll be back to the area next summer and will definitely stay here again.

I was blown away by the upgrades, cleanliness, and comfort of this hotel! The service was fantastic, the room was beautiful, the ice machines worked, and the elevators were always available! The only thing I would recommend is to upgrade the quality of the hot food for breakfast, but it was still an incredible visit and I will be back!
