The BEST experience!!!
Our stay started out great. In the morning, we discovered the heat and hot water were out. The manager apologized and said someone was coming to fix the issue. It was a whole building problem. We ended up getting our room for one more night at a discount. After finding out we were gonna be in the area for another week (hospital stay) we ended up going back to the hotel and getting a room for the whole week! The desk clerks were amazing! Breakfast was AMAZING every morning!! The pool and hot tub was excellent. We will be making more trips to the area for doctor visits and we definitely will be staying here!!! Thank you so much for a great place to stay!!

No Hot Water and Broken Thermostat
The room was clean. The challenge was that the thermostat did not work correctly and would run continuously (I woke up and it was 85 degrees). And no hot water the second morning. The breakfast buffet was good.

The bed was comfortable. The shower was nice but the knob you pull to start the shower was janky and fell off leaving water squirting all over the bathroom. The door to the bathroom was too big for the frame making a vey loud noise when trying to close it.
The breakfast person was crabby. When I asked about gluten free options at breakfast she just said “no” and made no eye contact.

8/10 Very Good
January 19, 2025
I stayed here 6 days with my two elementary age kids. Hotel is very clean other than the hottub was dirty and gross. My biggest issue was the 1st night I checked in only my room did not have hot water. When I asked the front desk she said it was because it was cold outside but the guy across the hall said he had steaming hot water. So I switched rooms and problem solved.Then morning 5 and 6 I woke up both times and had no hot water before going to work for the day. Hotel staff offered only a $35 discount.
The breakfast here is pretty mediocre. But the hotel in general is quiet and feels safe.
The thermostat in the room I set to 74 and it never got over 71.
I do like this hotel for the price but not having hot water is very inconvenient.
Housekeeping staff does an exceptional job!

It was a pretty decent hotel. Seemed clean enough except for the pill my 1 yo found in the floor in the room. The hot tub was just warm which I liked but others wished it would've actually been hot. It also was murky looking which isnt necessarily the hotels fault. Everyones lotions, body oils. Just something to expect with a hot tub. The shower water pressure was absolutely AWFUL. Breakfast was great besides the people keeping up with the breakfast would sweep then go fix something with the food without any handwashing or gloves. Hallway also smelled like a gym/feet.
