Property felt safe and was very clean. The only issue I had was the elevator and walkway to our room felt stuffy and hot, and the room had a mildew-like smell to it. Other than that it was a safe and clean option to stay overnight. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The staff treated us with such warmth and care, making us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. It’s rare to find this kind of personal attention, and it made all the difference for us. They anticipated all our needs, especially because we traveled with an elderly person, and made sure we had everything to feel cared for and at ease. We also really appreciated the variety at breakfast and that it was included, and the jacuzzi was a wonderful extra that we truly enjoyed. A special thanks to Mark, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. We’re deeply grateful and would gladly return.

Good option for a night or two.

Overall the hotel was great. We stayed for one night, 2 adults, 2 kids. The room was clean, but a little bit small so we felt cramped. Service was good. Pool was much smaller than anticipated and the pool towels were small enough for a toddler. Breakfast was decent. There are good options to eat within walking distance and a Target as well.

The staff were all very very friendly and helpful! The housekeepers did an amazing job keeping the facilities clean and organized. Only complaint is the rude parents that allowed their kids to run around all over the place at all hours of the night. But other than that the staff and facility was very nice and had plenty of options for dinner and lunch within walking distance
