Stay was excellent. Fitness center was clean. Towel and water a plus. Breakfast was great every morning however, I dont understand why Hampton guests don't have access to the dining atea for Homewood suites. Everything else is shared and the food offerings are the same.

This was a very nice hotel and we would have enjoyed staying here longer, if possible. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, the amenities are very nice and the room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was decent, but not great. The room was very quiet, even though the hotel is situated right next to a major highway. The price is a little high for an overnight stay but is probably about average these days for a hotel of this caliber. It was kind of sad that we were charged an extra $20.00 just to park overnight. Not sure if that's normal or not. Overall, we give this hotel a thumbs up.

The place was easy to check in, and it was nice and quiet. Clean, and nice environment. The breakfast was nice, however, it would really be nice if Gluten Free options for toast or bagels. And hard boiled eggs for an option if one cannot have the Western Omelets because of allergies.
