Selected this hotel for due to hot tub, kitchen, and claimed to sleep four people. Room was clean. Kitchen was stocked. Lots of wasted space imo. Hot tub was not working and room definitely does NOT sleep 4 people. Sofa bed was twin or smaller and extremely uncomfortable. Walls are thin. Would advise selecting a top floor so you don't hear people walking above you. Free parking, location, and breakfast was nice.

Warm baked cookies every day and smoothies for breakfast. One of the best breakfast offerings, pleasant, helpful staff working throughout the hotel. In the gym, the TV needs to place in front of the treadmills, not behind them. You can't view it while working out.

Michelle was nice at the front desk as well as breakfast attendants (wishing there were some options for those who don’t eat pork). Housekeeping could use a bit of work to understand the difference between full service and refresh. One lady came in, didn’t do dishes, clean trash can out, or mop like the first housekeeper we had. It’s unfair to have one working harder than the other and would advise going over the standards with entire team. Other than that, hot tub was perfect, rooms were a good size, lots of eateries nearby and trail around back made for a great hike.

Ive stayed at this hotel a couple times. I really like it. Free hot breakfast saves us lots of money for my family. Coffee is ready super super early for us early risers, well before breakfast is out. And its good too! Pool is clean and heated, also a hot tub. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable. Laundry open 24 hours. Theres a little store at the front to grab snacks, drinks, microwave food, ice cream....convenient when you dont want to go anywhere. Its also dog friendly, 2 dogs allowed for 100 per stay. Staff is friendly. Free electric/tesla charging station in parkimg lot. Will return.

I enjoyed my stay here, the staff was very friendly! Showers were awesome and comfortable and it was very clean. Only downside was I stayed on the second floor and whoever was staying above me sounded like a bird of elephants at 6 AM. If you stay here, I would recommend staying on the third floor, you run into those issues Parking could be a little challenging but manageable. I highly recommend this location and hotel.

I have been coming to this hotel for years, they are under new management and I will never stay here again! One of the reasons I loved it was because it’s pet friendly , well now they charge an additional $150 for a pet as well as charging $5/day for parking which was not disclosed during booking or check in. The manager on duty was rude (I didn’t catch his name) and I will be taking my business elsewhere. I’m a long time customer of this location but not anymore! Highly disappointed in this experience.

Loved the convenient, free parking and local restaurant options within walking distance. Breakfast options were great and never ran out - loved the scrambled eggs! Room was comfortable/clean. Didn't like the smaller TV and location on wall to the side just outside of bathroom. Please upgrade quality of the tissues and toilet paper - so rough and cheap. Would love lotion and bigger soap amenities provided in bathroom. Fitness room leaves a lot to be desired as far as machines/equipment/air flow/mats/towels.

There was an unpleasant smell in the room from day one. We told the front desk and they sent someone in to spray the room. As we were getting ready to check out, we looked around to make sure we didn't leave anything behind and when we looked under the bed, we found a dirty diaper (we don't have any children). Horrible. Management should have offered us a discount or something to make up for this unpleasant room. I will say on the positive that the breakfast offering was very nice!

The people were all wonderful, and the room was cozy, but a little outdated. The bathtub shower thing definitely needs some updating, as does the mini tv. We've stayed at many hotels, and this one is the only one that had such a small tv! But all the dining options (plus Starbucks!) being in the same lot is super awesome. There were so many good options in the same lot. So yeah, if you don't mind things being a little outdated, it's a nice place, with a pretty good breakfast selection too.

The staff during the morning and afternoon were great, respectful, and efficient when I need something for the room ( e.g Toilet paper). There was a man that works at night who was also nice but very nosy. He wouldn’t stop asking personal questions about my last name and where I come from and pointing out that we stay longer than what they’re use to . I didn’t answer because i just feel like those are personal questions and I wasn’t comfortable giving him any further information about my life. Other than that , everyone else was awesome and helpful . Thank you and will definitely visit soon .

I booked this because it was pet friendly. They charge $100.00 non-refundable for the pet. I was surprised and may have missed it when booking. My dog is handicapped and was never on the floor or loose in the room but no wiggle room with the fee. The breakfast ended at 9:30, I arrived at 9:25 not expecting much but it was fine. The only negative was the service person angry and complaining about having to make coffee when breakfast was almost over. She made the coffee but continued to grumble about it and her upcoming break.
