The bed was perfect after a long day of traveling. Clean. One elevator was working, the other being serviced but it wasn’t a problem since they weren’t busy. The bathroom furnishings were worn, caulk was cracked in between the tiles and there was a little area of water damage.

It was either new or newly remodeled. Had a good sized pool and hot tub and they were open till midnight. The only down side one elevator wasn’t working and the other when it was going up shuttered and made a horrible noise. The breakfast was very good with hot selections.

The room was the single worst smelling room I have ever stayed in. It smelled like human feces got into the carpet and the staff attempted to mask the smell with orange shampoo. Despite this, I was not permitted to change rooms and we all woke up sick after a miserable night.

Seems like a nice area. The check in at the counter was great. Once we entered the room, the beds were made up fine but there was trash everywhere. They moved us to a different room. When we arrived there, the beds were made up fine but there is food or something stuck to the chairs, pretty gross. We are only staying one night, traveling through so we are just avoiding the furniture. This app provides a place for photos but it's not working.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast, especially the eggs. Hotel was quiet even with a sports team and pets staying in the hotel. Hot tub water temp was really hot! It would be very nice if you could add a small patio and a couple chairs outside. There was no place to sit. For those who travel with their dogs there is lots of grass space to walk your pet.
