Room was nice. Bed was ok. Parking was easy. Breakfast was ok. Did not use the pool. The room next to ours kept slamming the door for about an hour at 11 pm. Other than that it was quiet enough.

It was good and clean I would like to recognize the exceptional professionalism and dedication demonstrated by [Name]. They consistently went above and beyond to provide outstanding service, communicated clearly, and treated everyone with respect and kindness. Their commitment to excellence made a significant difference in my experience. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

Be aware that there is NO elevator for two floor buildings. Stairs only. For the price, no elevator is a killer. If you travel with kids and have luggage.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Do not stay here. Our family experienced severe structural and sanitary issues that made our room uninhabitable, and management went silent once pressed for corporate accountability. ​The Major Issues: ​Flooding & Leaks: Water was actively seeping up through the floor seams upon check-in. By morning, a second leak developed next to the toilet, pooling yellow/orange fluid across the floor. Management downplayed a failed toilet wax ring as "clean water," ignoring the obvious health hazard. ​Poor Hygiene: There was an active ant infestation at the lobby coffee bar area. ​Management Failure: While the General Manager issued a full refund, he completely ghosted us the moment we requested a corporate incident tracking number and insurance details. ​They are quick to issue a refund to make a liability problem go away, but they lack operational accountability. Avoid this property.
