Excellent - 1 drawback, the elevator wasn't working so my lovely wife carried our bags to the 2nd floor! Covid residue in my lungs hasn't helped me be the guy around the house lately!! Their in-house breakfast was one of the best we've had stateside. Good selection of tasty & nutritious items. Well worth the night's rest!

Was in town for my son’s high school graduation. Kids loved the breakfast and pool. It was clean, quiet and close to many things. My refrigerator didn’t feel super cold inside but that could have just been that one in particular. Will definitely stay again next time I come to town to visit my kids.

We had a good stay and the continental breakfast provided options beyond what we expected. The staff were so friendly and amazing. However, I had to keep my shoes on until I got in bed because upon taking my shoes off, the carpet felt sticky, icky, and dirty.

Bathroom tub would not drain. Had to shower in ankle deep water. Checked in too late to deal with it on a one night stay. Carpet coming into the room was horribly stained and desperately needed cleaning. Hallways were dirty and needed to be vacuumed. We have stayed here many times in the past but it is doubtful we will stay again.

The noise in this place is insane. The people in the room above us are banging around so hard that the light on the ceiling by the room door is rattling. I’m not sure if they have a child or what, but it’s rude and disrespectful. I can hear them talking as well. The people across from us stand by our door and laugh and talk loudly. I am traveling with my two 10 year olds and we are completely exhausted but can’t relax or sleep with all this noise. It’s almost like a party hotel. Never will I ever stay here again. Unbelievable.

Beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Extremely loud, inconsiderate, rude people down the hall on third floor. They came in late, about 11:00 PM as we were already in bed. Called front desk and they said they would check on it. About an hour and a half later the rowdy’s finally shut up.
