The stay overall was fine. However when we returned after an evening out visiting family, we had a hard time finding a parking spot due to at least 3 trucks hauling long trailers parked ACROSS multiple parking spots. Between the 3 trucks we saw, they must have blocked at least 25-30 parking spaces combined. And they were all occupying spaces fairly close to the entrance. The only spot we found available was on the very far side of the building. I’m disabled and often have a hard time walking due to pain, so having to park so far away because inconsiderate guests took up so many close spaces with only a few vehicles wasn’t fun. I’m surprised the staff allowed it and didn’t at least have them parked their trucks and trailers far in the back rather than right up front.
I came down to get my daughter from college and this is my first stay at this hotel. It was very clean and has all the amenities. The room was spacious and clean. I would definitely stay again.
Staff was friendly and check in and out were easy. Hotel was very clean, comfy beds and soft sheets and comforters. Large gym and nice pool area! Our only complaint is shower was on cooler side on one day of our stay. zoom
The room was great!. The breakfast was terrible. Very dirty breakfast area, coffee spilled all over the floor, trash spilling out of the bags, not a good selection of foods.

This place is new and perfect for one night stay over
This was a decent hotel. The rooms had a bit of a musty odor, but that can be typical with hotel rooms. I did have to wait a bit to check in as there was only one person working and she wasn’t at the desk when I arrived and there was a line already there waiting to check in as well. We also had an issue with our TV and when I called the front desk, there was an issue with the phone and the person who answered was a bit rude (I called and it just rang and when I called back, I was hung up on, when I called back it just rang again), I ended up fixing the tv issue myself. The stay in general was decent, it was just when interacting with staff that things weren’t the best.
Best hotel we have stayed in- hands down. The rooms were impecable and spotless, the service was incredible and the location ideal. Will definitely be back. Perfect for families
