Decent hotel for the price
The hotel was a little old and beat down but was decently clean. Every member of the staff we interacted with was really friendly and helpful. The walls between rooms are decently thin so it was a bit noisy at times.

The young man at check in was very polite and helpful. I had some concerns at checkout. The young lady at checkout wasn’t professional and she never asked about my stay. She was kinda rude but the other young lady there with her said have a nice day ma’am . So fit wasn’t for her I would have been upset

The room and hotel were very clean. Staff was friendly especially the woman who served/managed the breakfast buffet. The hot tub was very relaxing after a long day. The room seemed old but was clean and the bed was comfortable.

Lobby was under renovation, however this had no bearing on the quality of my stay. My room was newly renovated and very clean. Very comfy bed and plenty of room. Pool and whirlpool spa were both clean and enjoyable in the summer heat. Staff were pleasant and helpful during entire visit. Would definitely stay again.

The stay was nice. But no one will answer the phone. I left something very expensive and they keep hanging up on me as I am on hold, or will not answer.

The front desk clerk was helpful in letting us pick a room, but the ice machine he placed us close to was -broken- anyway. The pool/hot tub area was clean with plenty of chairs, tables, and loungers. The gym looked sufficient, but rather small. The breakfast area was comfortable and the food was tasty. Oatmeal, cereal, waffles, yogurt, etc. The scrambled eggs were great, but the sausage and bacon were just ok. Attendants kept everything stocked and clean as people came and went for food. Overall, breakfast was good. A very nice choice, I’d choose it again if I needed to stay in the area.

I booked this hotel so I could enjoy my son‘s graduation from the Navy. Unfortunately, at the last minute, he cannot leave for one week so that affected me being able to stay. I was not refunded my money because it was too late to cancel. Not only was I heartbroken that I did not get to see my son graduate, but I lost almost $200 for nothing.
