⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Clean, Comfortable Stay With Great Service”
When I first walked into the lobby, there was a bit of a “weird” smell, and I even heard another guest complaining, so I was hesitant. But I asked for a room with two queen beds, plus extra towels and blankets, and the staff was quick, kind, and able to accommodate everything I needed.
The room itself was very clean — same with the bathroom. I love that they use Dove soap, and my kiddo loved the lotion, which was a nice touch. The beds were extremely comfortable; we were out cold within a couple of hours of getting settled. There were plenty of outlets for all our devices, which is always a huge plus.
My only small complaint was the TV — the bottom of the screen was shaky like it might be going out. We only used it to watch the game before bed, so it wasn’t a big deal.
Breakfast was good, service was great, and overall we had a comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again.

The rooms are ok. My issue is the internet is not stable. It always disconnects and you have to constantly go and reconnect. If it wasn’t for that I’ll give it a 4 star rating

For the price of this hotel I had better expectations. The room was clean though and the bathroom had full size soap, shampoo and conditioner. Bed was comfy. Breakfast was great! The lobby could be a bit more desirable. This is a upscale hotel but doesnt feel like it when you step into the lobby.
