Nice property but showing its age. They are stingy with toiletries. We had to ask for more tp, cleanex, shampoo, body wash. Front desk was not responsive so we would track down housekeeping. The water in the jacuzzi was yellow but the pool was clean. This was our third time staying here and probably our last.

Average at best…

This hotel Is mediocre at best. I would say it’s a juiced up motel 6 with a good dinner place and bar nearby that keeps people coming back. The beds and pillows are subpar and while it calls itself a hotel, the doors open to the parking spots which gives it a motel vibe. I would not stay here again. There are several other places nearby that are a lot nicer for the same price.

Property was great, staff was great, ambience was good. However none of the restaurants food was good and it was overpriced. This place is in the middle of a residential neighborhood which is ok I guess. Other than that everything else was good.
