The breakfast was good, bland but better than some I’ve had. The check in wasn’t the best yet I made it through. The smell of clean was definitely there. Housekeeping was awesome. The location was not as close as I wanted but not to horrible

Staff seemed a bit incohesive... I was charged for both rooms on the reservation rather than the other person whose name the reservation was in being charged for one. The breakfast area is very small and consequently very very loud

My husband and I were traveling with our two dogs and had booked a room here for three nights. Upon arrival and check in I was pleasantly surprised at how clean the place looked and it’s beautiful from the outside. We checked in and went to our room and I was also pleasantly surprised there was no carpet in the room. Makes me worry less about the dogs having an accident away from home. The indoor pool is beautiful and heated which was very nice. The complimentary breakfast is good, good selection and the staff was friendly. We know going anywhere that it’s not going to be like home, but I do have a few things I need to mention. When wiping up a spill I was very surprised at how dirty the napkin was. The floors looked clean but really weren’t. We had a couch and a chair in our room and the couch was very warn and not comfortable at all. The mattress was very firm, not my favorite. I would stay there again though, I’ve had way worse situations away from home.

Very clean hotel. Laminate flooring in rooms, so no germy carpeting. The bathroom mirror had a defogger which was nice. I like that the towel bar was right next to shower, so I didn't have to reach way out to get my towel. Breakfast was decent, waffles, sausage, scrambled eggs, sausage gravy and biscuits, a nice assortment of bagels and other types of bread. I just wish that the food on the steam table had been warmer. There are nice seating areas inside and outside. I enjoyed sitting outside with a book.

Wonderful stay. Area is quiet. Facility was very clean and well appointed. Desk staff was friendly and attentive. Breakfast selection and roomy dining area was better than most. Beds and pillows were very comfortable. Room had a microwave and small refrigerator. Huge updated bathroom was greatly appreciated.This hotel is at the edge of town so it would be a bit of a jaunt to area restaurants and shops if walking. There was ample parking and we actually preferred the location to others in the area. First stay in the area. Will definitely stay here again if returning.
