Everything about this hotel was great! I was shocked at how clean and modern it was. By far one of the best hotels we stayed for that price. The breakfast was also very good! Will be staying here again!

Great place to stay!
Called the Hotel a couple days before to verify our stay and mentioned would have a small dog and I had both knees replaced. Asked if not on 1st floor could be by elevator. She put us where we were close to a side exit on 1st floor and pool / hot tub right outside our door! Breakfast was also decent! Everyone we saw was friendly! Will definitely stay there again!

barb, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean, good service.
Room and Bedding were clean and fresh. I am always happy w hard flooring vs. Carpets in a room so that was a key bonus for me. Pool and hot tub were clean and not over chemical laden. Breakfast room was clean w a decent selection. Check in and out was good, although I did ask about an early checkout and was told I was able to if needed BUT was not told there was a time constraint on this,.which hindered me getting a full refund for the night we didn'tstay. Still service was good. Hotel was very clean overall and service was very good overall. I will absolutely stay here again.
