Not The Hilton, But a Good Hotel

The first room they assigned us to was musty and damp smelling. I asked for a room change and they accommodated us right away. Front desk associates were pleasant. Had to ask for more towels every day as there were four of us staying and they only gave us two towels. Everyone on site was very friendly and anything we requested we were given immediately. They have a great breakfast selection and everyone serving in the breakfast area was very friendly. Overall, it was a good stay. I wouldn’t rate it 5 stars, but we would stay there again.

I the staff was great and very helpful. The only problem I had was in my first night we found 2 roaches in the bathroom before bed. There was a sticky substance on the carpet by the bathroom and the beds were hard. The sofa bed was partly damaged so was not every comfortable to sleep on.
