  • Hotel review by Noelle

    Noelle

    Very Good

    Exceptional value if you’re not...

    Pros: Clean room with comfortable beds and a pretty good breakfast
    Cons: Small inconveniences- no trash cans in the room, to running low and no extra roll supplied, electrical outlet problems, weird bathroom mirror, etc. Little things that can measure up. Not suitable for a romantic getaway but good enough to last your head.

  • Hotel review by Debbie

    Debbie

    Very Poor

    The worst place weve stayed!! Weve been traveling for eight months straight!

    Pros: The property was under construction (very much needed) the tv didnt work (long story) never offered to change us to another room! Manager was rude. We were then introduced to the main manager and he asked us what would make us happy, so I said two days of a refund. He guaranteed us it would be done and even gave us his phone number. When it didnt show up after a few days, I texted him again ( twice) with no response. I just filed a complaint with the BBB. I would not recommend this place to anyone!!! Also the sitting area for eating breakfast was never cleaned the whole time we were there
    Cons: Everything , nothing good about it!

    Disappointing

    Tolerable but not impressive

    Pros: The bed was comfortable. The work out room equipment was adequate.
    Cons: The entire site is undergoing a remodel; walkways are torn up, most ground floor rooms are closed, and they are obviously cutting back on upkeep during the remodel, as the furniture doesn't fit in the rooms well and the tissue box in the room was empty. The breakfast was odd, with one hot item every morning: sausage links. Otherwise there was a typical assortment of bagels to toast, cold cereal, and waffles to make.
