8/10 Good
"Overall a decent hotel and decent stay. John at the front desk was very helpful and all the staff was nice. Pool was closed but that wasn't a problem. The breakfast was good. Only issue I had was the fitness center wasn't well maintained. I would recommend to family and friends."

8/10 Good
"Nice clean room with great linens and very good AC. Great free breakfast. Two notes: a leaky door way entering the lobby with buckets and towels, etc. water dripping from the upper door frame. Arrived Thursday left Sunday. Dirty wet towels in the entrance the whole time. Asked for extra hour for check out and was granted. Much appreciated! Think the breakfast should go to 10 am as guests were scrambling to finish by 9 am. Would definitely stay here again!"
