Lee, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our experience was wonderful. We met Brittany at the front desk and absolutely loved her hospitality, patience, and kindness. She took the time to write down all the interesting places to visit, which we truly appreciated. The information and suggestions she provided were incredibly helpful in choosing the right places to explore and enjoy our trip. The hotel is very clean and offers excellent service. We love it!

Melissa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wasnt bad

I want to start with the service, the staff at the front desk was nothing short of amazing. Always friendly smiling and caring. Normally its only a good morning or have a great day, but they took the time to ask my daughter how camp was, a small personal interaction goes a long way. We had a few issues like my key stopped workng a few times, but was quickly rectified by the front desk staff. Unfortunately there were a lot of gnats and flys in the lobby, the staff was trying to address it, everytime i seen them they were cleaning something, unfortunately in heat like there was without that curtin of air at the front door its almost impossible to stop with doors that were always opening. Overall not bad room was clean and staff was awesome.

Shahid, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel itself was good. Loved the mattress. It was just the property around it wasn't great. We had to leave really early. The front doors were locked, meaning you couldn't even exit them. You had to use a side exit. It did have breakfast, but we didn't stay for it.

6/10 Good

The staff was friendly, and rooms were clean but very cramped lights in the restroom didn’t fully work room service was not offered, nor were fresh towels. We stayed on the second floor guests above us were so loud it was hard to even watch TV the The location of the hotel is not in the best of neighborhoods.
