Room was clean, plenty of parking, excellent breakfast options and healthy. The only negative thing I have was the thermostat did not function so I was not completely comfortable and I was surprised that there was not a coffee maker or tea bags in the room.

As a newer property, the hotel was nice, clean, and everything looked it. The room had a nice set up - we had a 2 Queen suite with a sleeper sofa that slept our family of 6 comfortably. I liked the small touches like actually hand soap in the bathroom, and nice soaps in the shower. The hot breakfast was good and my children all approved! Hotel pool area smelled a little like a highschool locker room though... needs some airing out, but otherwise was adequate. Wish there was a hot tub though!

This is really a great place to stay. Friendly representatives. A very clean room and common areas. Coffee and tea all day long. A really great little breakfast. And most importantly it was very quiet. The best place in town to stay I’m sure.

Walked into room that felt like an icebox. Air conditioner was on high set at its lowest setting. Tv was on. And it was not clean. Someone must have spent 10 mins on what is considered cleaning. I literally was wiping up urine at the base of toilet.

This hotel claims in ad to have suite rooms but they are the same size as the regular room or very little difference to standard room. Other Holiday Inn and Express have large suite rooms worth the price . Not this place .

I\'m recovering from a broken leg and chose this hotel and the room based on fact it had "accessible" shower. Unfortunately, the description of accessible was highly misleading. There was a large lip, probably four inches high, to clear to get into shower, meaning no wheelchair. There was no hose/handheld shower extension meaning you couldn\'t really sit. The only bench was at far end opposite showerhead and out of reach of faucets. Also, it was only a few inches wide meaning you had to hold a grab handle to sit on it, rendering it useless. The aforementioned grab handle was also at far end opposite showerhead and out of reach of faucet. Bottom line: Although they advertise accessible shower, you don\'t actually get an accessible shower even in rooms that are marketed as such.

I was ok with the room and the service at the front desk was amazing but when I checked out I was supposed to get my incidentals deposit back and here we are fifteen days after I checked out and still no return of my deposit! The room was cleaner when I left than when I checked in because I scrubbed it with comet and bleach! I want my money back now. My husband died suddenly two weeks ago and $100 would help so much now

Breakfast was great w/ many options! The rooms smelled so clean almost like brand new furniture, w/ great features in the room. My son loved being able to stream videos on the TV and the kids loved the pool. Will definitely be back!

Love the place, however, this time I gave it 4 stars because the lady shut down the free breakfast place 15 minutes before the time should have ended. A lot of people came down to eat but she closed it, even though people were still eating. That was unfair because the only reason we pay those prices is to enjoy free breakfast.
