Nice stay

The front desk staff is very friendly and helpful. It was fun hanging out with them, chatting, and getting to know them. They made the stay 100% worth while! My only complaint is the room was filled with ants. The bed was comfortable and cleaning staff did a good job of keeping the rooms and building clean (minus the infestation of ants).

Locked out

Found long hairs in bathroom that were not my color. Tried to put me in room where the door rarely opened with the key. I tried atleast a dozen times before returning to the front desk and asking for help. They tried another 5-10 times before door finally opened. I was told a new owner took over that day, so maybe it will get better, but I will not stay there again .

I will be back.

I had a terrible stay in the hotel I had been in previous to this one. I was very apprehensive when I checked in, but the person who checked me in was efficient and friendly. I was so relieved when I got to the room. It was spacious, super clean, and exactly what I needed. Not only did it feel great after the prior hotel, it was great on its own. Every interaction I had with staff was fantastic. The soap that came in the room even smelled good. I will def be back.
