The pool was not in operation which was the whole reason we choose this hotel. No curtains and no carpeting. Even though the wood laminate floor was new, it was cold and hard on bare feet. Not comfortable at all!! I will not be coming back.

Scott at the front desk is absolutely amazing. I stay here every other week or so for work & he is always so welcoming when I check in. The hotel is brand new, the rooms are very nice. Bed is great. TV’s are bigger & more updated than most. You can’t get a room this nice for a better price anywhere else. 10/10 recommend

Front desk lady was so friendly and helpful! Room was very clean and comfortable. The only change I would make is better quality towels. The washcloths and towels were very thin and rough.
