Unfortunately this hotel was not clean. The staff are very friendly but my room was dirty. I had hair in my shower from the previous guest. My blanket had holes in it.
I hope these things are addressed because the staff are great.
We had a wonderful stay. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Roger at the front desk. From the moment we checked in, he made us feel genuinely welcome. Every time we passed by the desk, the staff greeted us with a smile, asked how we were doing, and offered to help with anything we needed.
I always love staying here. Good complimentary breakfast is always a plus. Hotel is always very clean. We had the pool to ourselves for a relaxing time. Rooms are awesome, very spacious. Will be back again. Just wish parking was a bit cheaper.
A great central location for college move in. Easy access to Target for last minute or forgotten items. Rooms were large, breakfast was fine for that type of thing, the Staff were great! Friendly and helpful.
