So So this time around...
I have stayed at this location a few times. The staff here is always great, but this time around the room needed a little bit more attention to detail. Both the entryway and bathroom floors were dirty, with a stocky residue. Mopping should be done in between guests. The shower also had a loose faucet and handrail, stains on the ceiling that appeared to be from a leak, and the shower stall itself also needed a thorough cleaning.

This was our halfway hotel… it was halfway between home and our destination. It was the best decision I could have made to stay here! The breakfast alone was so worth it!! I would stay again!

Gross!! Used personal items
We stayed after a concert. The room was not clean. My kids ended up finding used personal items from last We didn’t realize it that night but my two young kids found it and picked it up. Manager didn’t even come talk to us a check out and said she might give us a discount. I’m never staying again and will be looking at charging the fee back. That was beyond gross.

Mixed review this time
My first night the hotel was busy as it was on a Saturday. Lots of families, which was fine except around 11pm when kids were out in the halls screaming. Bother staff’s fault, I’ll just never understand why people don’t just go into their rooms to make noise. Try to get a room away from the pool if possible, noisy due to a pump or generator that kept coming on. I’ve stayed here before, and none of this has ever been a problem. Internet and cable were also spotty, not sure why. I will say that the staff here are always excellent. Very polite and helpful
