Our stay was a 4 out of 5 . We were in the area due to a family emergency and the hotel was pretty easy to work with. The had the best breakfast, ever! Our room was ok , a bit smaller than expected. The pull out was small and horribly uncomfortable and there were ants in our room , even had a couple crawl on me in the bathroom. This isn't the hotels fault but our pizza delivery was taken by another family. The staff was very helpful and attentive! There was a Becca and a Jessica (I do believe?) that were absolutely amazing! The staff member at the desk this morning looked miserable and clearly didn't want to be there or look the part. But all in all a decent stay especially in a time of need and uncertainty.

I went down to eat breakfast and the Spanish lady kept harassing me, she asked for my room number which I gave her and then I guess she didn't believe and asked me my last name I told her it was too early for that crap and she accused me of not staying there. I would rather stay anywhere else that I don't have to deal with that first thing in the morning. Everything else about the stay was great but that is a deal breaker. Who made her the food monitor. Someone gave her a little too much authority, take her badge and gun holiday inn.

Great staff, especially that young driver to the airport whose wife also works the front desk. He goes above and beyond and should get a raise. He spoke very highly of his bosses and company he works for and said they are like family and thats why he drives over an hour one way to work. Would stay there again and use his services. Hotel was very nice. Would love little cookie treats and even breakfast to go paper bag options in the early morning for people leaving before breakfast to the airport like the Hampton Inn next door had. All in all great experience!
