Check in and check out staffs are very friendly. They show lot of respects. Thank you for good services.
Unfortunately, breakfast few weren’t good. Bagel was very hard like rock. Scramble eggs taste great it wasn’t warm enough. All other foods taste great. I feel uncomfortable a lady who works for breakfast and clean the tables. She keeps target eyes at us. Follows us in breakfast room. Feel uncomfortable with her behaviour.
Swimming pool was nice. There is no hot tub (spa). Wish to have hot tub to relax. The washroom was out of the order. Can’t use the washroom.
The benches and chairs paint are worn out can see the steel.
The hotel room was amazing very clean. One pillow smells strange it seems not change the pillow case cover. All other pillows are fresh and clean. Love the washroom mirror with click on and off on the mirror it’s pretty cool. The bath tub very clean and shiny like polish. I wish the room have better coat rack. It’s looks small inside the cabinet with rack. Need more chairs.
Love the rubber ducks collection at front lobby. They are stinky cute ❤️It is not a jeep 🤣quack quack quack
Love the front lobby have nice sign of Happy New Year 2026

I stayed at this hotel with my boyfriend and overall we had a great experience. The room was very clean, the property was well maintained, and the staff’s hospitality expectional. Karen in breakfast was great and we loved the biscuits and gravy.
I especially want to mention Brittany at check-in — she was truly wonderful, welcoming, and very helpful. I do want to share this with kindness and respect: there was a noticeable breath odor during our interaction, which seemed like it could be related to a health or dental infection. I mention this gently and not to be unkind, but simply because it may be something management would want to address or support her with, as she otherwise provides excellent service.

Staff was very helpful. Staff said there was a problem getting the first set of keys to work on the room. We tried three times before keys would work. Staff knew about the problem and was more than happy to help. Not their fault
