The breakfast menu is the same daily, it could have been better. The AC was noisy and didn't let us sleep well

Dan, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Staff and check in were great. Our room was not. Our door handle was broken so after a trip up to the room, we had to go back down for the employee to explain how to open the door. Once in the room, we found the heater didn’t work. There was a space heater in the room but that is a huge safety concern. Our bathtub also did not drain well so you have to stand in a tub of water while you shower. We also were only given two towels for four people and were told they didn’t have any more clean and that we would have to wait until morning. I had high hopes with the ratings all being so high so maybe we just got the bad apple room.
Kirsten, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Beds were very comfortable. The breakfast options were great and comprehensive for the price of lodging. The facility was updated and clean
Jill, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel and staff were great, but the coffee maker did not work any morning when we went down for breakfast and the breakfast itself was mediocre at best.
Tammie, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Breakfast was pretty good, a little limited. A couple of juices were out. Eggs, sausage or bacon, cereal, waffle maker, some fruit milk and nice coffee maker. Rooms clean, showing a little age, but nice and quiet.
Terry, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The staff were great. The non lobby, exterior doors which were supposed to be secured, weren’t so anybody could enter without a keycard. The room air unit made a rattling noise each night that made it difficult to sleep through.
Ashley, 3-night trip

The pool was down. Common area bathrooms were gross. Breakfast was not good. The room itself was big and nice but there was water damage on the bathroom ceilings and they were out of shampoo in the pump bottle. The place needs some care.
