All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The young lady that greeted us was so sweet and welcoming. She sent us up to our room with warm cookies! The bed was very comfortable. The price was exceptional for a good nights sleep after driving all day!
The room was spotless and the staff were great. My only problem the parking lot had no handicap parking the most direct route from the parking lot to the hotel entrance was over a high curb stone and down another high curb on the other side. Or you had to follow the driveway around
I was very pleased with this place. If I had to single out one thing, it would be that the coffee maker in our room did not work. However, for me it was not a problem because delicious coffee was available in the lobby.
The pillows and bed/bedding was outstanding!
I will definitely stay here again.
