Hill city visit

We checked in quickly and easily. We had our dog so we got a first level room near the entrance. Very convenient. Room was very spacious, clean, and comfortable. Beds were comfortable, too.

Since we were staying there for 6 nights we loved the size of our rooms and kitchenette area. The firm beds and black out curtains were perfect. The mini fridge froze all of my foods which resulted in $40+ worth of veggies and groceries getting ruined and thrown away. There was no dial to turn down the fridge and that was very frustrating. We also picked this place because it had great reviews for breakfast- I would not rave about breakfast. It was the same thing every morning. Biscuits and gravy and then either sausage Pattie or sausage links and some sort of egg. Please change it up. Give us a variety- French toast sticks, bacon, pancakes…something. The parking lot was nice and big and the pool area was very nice and clean and warm water.

Pretty good

Clerk was very friendly! Room was clean but very dark. Different bulbs would take care of that I’m sure. Bed was a little firm but all in all the stay was pleasant. Breakfast was awesome!!!
