Food selection is very limited on property we were there for a rugby tournament so going out wasn’t an option secondly as a handicapped disabled veteran the cost of parking is $60.00 the valet said the handicapped parking is only accessible by using valet service so it cost another $60.00 for parking or I could have self parked for $50.00 but wouldn’t be able to use the handicapped parking.

I gave it 5 stars bc it was very clean and the staff was helpful and kind. The only thing I would complain about was my room being hot all night. They did send in someone to fix it. But that didn’t work. It was late and was tired. So I pushed through it.

Unsafe and sketchy garage. Bad lighting, tight spaces, gates don’t work. Requires going to an online portal to register your car and pay $49/night to a separate vendor. Confusing and weird.

Great spot for young adult travelers/trips or one night. When we arrived we tried to enter the door closest the parking garage but it requires a keycard. This is great for safety but I wish there was a more clear sign to go around to the front to enter. When we checked in we waited for several minutes for someone to come to the front desk. Once she was there she was very helpful and quick at check in! Location is convenient right off the highway. The rooms are cute but it was a little dark — they will bring a make up mirror to your room. The window of our room had smudges and finger prints that had not been cleaned. I was disappointed that there was only Amazon Prime for streaming services. None of the TV channels worked but this could have been due to the storm while we were there. AC in the room worked well.
