Super helpful and friendly staff! The hotel and grounds were immaculate. A little off the beaten path, which made the stay very quiet.

This is a bare bones property, meaning it has the very basics, but no frills. For instance, there was a mini fridge but no coffee pot in the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room and bath sparkling clean. The pool is small and the free breakfast was typical of most hotels. The grounds were convenient for those of us traveling with pets which I appreciated. The location is easy access to the university and major highways, but set off far enough that noise was not a problem.

WIFI BOOSTERS POSSIBLY…

My stay was ok but my only gripe was the constant drop of the WI-FI service while getting work done.

Breakfast was supposed to be 6-10am. Came down at 7:00am and there was nothing there. Asked desk attendant (who seemed to be the only employee at the property) what was up ? Response - "we had a light night so I figured I wouldn't get it ready till later". Left the hotel at 7:30am and still nothing out. What a joke.

Older building that has been “refreshed”. Room smelled musty and could tell it was a smoking room at one time. Windows older and can hear a person cough outside . Staff was very friendly and helpful.

It was a stop on a longer trip. It was clean, the bed was good and the AC worked. It is far from luxurious. But if you are looking for a place to sleep it is fine.
