Not great, but not bad

Wasn’t an awful place, but for the price could’ve been more. Huge centipede the first night in my room. Very difficult to navigate around. I was at the end of the hall, and had a large group of kids playing outside my door for over an hour, hitting my door/wall, yelling, very disruptive. Wish the vending machines were actually filled to avoid the very long walk to lobby. Finally, rooms a bit outdated, definitely felt early 2000s. Paying nearly $100 more then others in area, was expecting a bit more. However, customer service was very helpful and kind. Breakfast was amazing as well! Beds and pillows very comfortable and nice to sleep in. Enjoyed the towel animals as well. Overall a nice hotel and good stay in the room, but a bit underwhelming, confusing and dull outside the room. Would stay again if price was lower.

We had a great time! I just forgot to tell someone, in the sauna there was some nails starting to come out, this could hurt if someone laid-back on them. I don't see sauna very often any more loved it.

OK but not great

First, our room smelled strongly of marijuana. This was supposed to be a no smoking room. So we asked for a change and got a room that didn’t smell. However it needed cleaning. The floors had not been vacuumed. Popcorn and other refuse was on the carpet and bathroom floor. Old dental floss draped around the handle of one nightstand. The bed was good and freshly made. And all else seemed clean - the bathroom, etc. No hairdryer. But plenty of towels. So an adequate stay but not one we will repeat. The restaurant next door was excellent.
