6/10 Good

Room was good and clean, but the TV wouldn't connect to anything so couldn't watch anything during my stay. Somebody kept trying to break in the back secure door burning and ripppig the card reader from the place it sets. The pool was amazing the hotel was beautiful and quiet. I was t a fan of the beds though a little hard for me.

The night receptionist was so nice to my son and let him play the piano. The room and pool were very nice. The shuttle service and short term parking were a huge plus! We would definitely stay again.

Worked for stay close to airport

Worked fine to stay close to the airport before flying out. One employee to do everything it seemed so prepare to wait for shuttle. Dog friendly so that was nice
Megan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I like the service
Carolina, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

hotel is understaffed
Jacob, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Hotel and room were unclean. Lots of hairs on bedding, poor paint job. It smelled strongly of Indian food, which I like—but I don’t necessarily want to smell it an entire hotel stay. There was garbage piled outside of the garbage can outside the entrance door, a dog barked continuously the entire stay. Everything was in disrepair and it was the grossest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The only compliment I have was their shuttle service, they were really prompt.
Tabitha, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel was nice, rooms were nice. Beds not as comfortable. But overall was nice place to stay.
Jesse, 2-night trip

marion, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly staff and decent hotel renovation

Quick overnight stay. Easy pick-up at the airport, even though it was late night and staff was extremely friendly. Room was great. A/C unit a bit loud but not complaining as it worked great even during terrible heat wave. I stayed at this hotel several years ago prior to the renovation; they did a decent job. Would stay here again!
Maura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty, outdated, rude service.

The Executive Suite consisted of nothing more than a larger room, and it was filthy. The clerk at the check in was rude and snippy. Definitely would not stay here again.
Lloyd, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Night in Iowa

The hotel is clean, older property that been updated but paint colors interesting. The door stuck very bad and hot and cold water switched up on the shower
