- AAAl Arndt3 days ago5.0Good clean room, included breakfast, friendly staff.
- CPCody PatrickDec 22, 20255.0The service Kaitlyn provided for me and my crew during breakfast was outstanding every day of our stay
- NBNick BakerDec 8, 20255.0I have been coming here for 5 years with work. My favorite part of it all is Emily the bartender/ server. She always has a smile on her face and always ask me about my family, friends, and projects. The best part is she remembers all. To any person that travels o recommend this place over any where. I stay in several holiday inns and not one can compete with this one (mainly due to Emily)
- VSVito SabatoDec 3, 20254.0This is a shout out to Amanda at the front desk. She is friendly and efficient, and willing to go the extra mile to help. For this frequent traveler, it is so gratifying to be greeted with a genuine smile and treated as a truly valued guest. Thank you. Amanda is an asset to the hotel.
