Wonderful

Hotel was very clean and nice, It was very confusing driving to it, as there was no simple direct road or street. The McDonalds was the prefered entrance?
Good experience. Everyone was pretty friendly. The gentleman who appeared to be the manager was micromanaging his breakfast staff, which is not a bad thing. He seemed as though he was somewhat rude to them though.
The staff was very nice and check in and check out was quick and efficient, which I appreciate. Always a hot cup of coffee or tea available which is really nice. The room was pretty clean as well. I have had a good experience staying here.
We were able to check in a tad earlier and this was so very convenient for my handicapped husband. I appreciate the gentleman at the reception who did that for us. It was a pleasant room, pleasant stay, and I would highly recommend. Thank you!

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The staff were all very friendly and helpful, however the room was not that clean. Dirty on the doors of bathroom, dirty walls in the bathroom and shower floor was dirty
Our room was not ready when we arrived and our new room was on the first floor next to the fitness center with pool music speaker right outside our window.
Property and staff very accomodating with our late hour arrival. Clean, quiet, and comfortable . Hotel was full with a lot of business crews with large trucks and trailers. They consumed several parking spots per vehicle. Finally found one parking spot.
