I have stay at this hotel multi times with my family for end of summer/back to school trip with my sister and the kids, this is the first time we had a hard time dealing with front desk personal, unable to give us proper answers on our booking because w have book with 3rd party, the round around was nuts and unhelpful - if they want to do business directly with consumers then don't make your rooms available thru 3rd party sites. Otherwise we love the location, and accesabilty of the hotel hence why we keep coming back. Also housekeeping personnel are great!!

Walls are too thin you’re able to hear your neighbors. We had the bottom floor and you were able to hear kids running around late at night. I see why this place has great reviews because they allow dogs but late and I there was a dog that didn’t stop barking And we weren’t unable to have a good sleep.

This was a great stay for one night. The facilities were nice but the bed and pillows were so uncomfortable. Breakfast was the highlight and the location was super central. You are getting the Toyota Camry level experience meaning it’s good, checks all boxes but there is no added comfort or next level service.

Over priced for what we got.

Staff at check in wasn’t that friendly. It would have been nice to be greeted with smiles and a friendly staff person after the long drive we had to get there. Room where the hangers are smelled like feet from stinky shoes.
