The first 3 nights of my trip were sleepless. There were multiple dogs barking throughout the night. I'd suggest having 2 floors for those guests that have animals and 2 floors thay are just for those guests traveling without pets.

My friend and I were in town for a concert and the hotel was not too far from where the concert was being held. The room was very spacious and we didn’t have any issues checking in. Would definitely stay here again.

A great experience. Gina was wonderful! Our room had a leak in the ceiling, and they upgraded us at no cost. the staff was very friendly and accommodating. Parking is a bit tight, but it works. The small fitness facility looked nice and the pool as well. Onsite laundry was a big help. Short drive to shopping and restaurants. I could do without the kids and teens, but it is across from the college but I'm not a kid person. all in all, great experience and highly recommended.

The only complaint we have is the set up for the light switches. Why not just use normal light switches… Would make it much simpler and easier.

Room was spacious and clean. Pool was quite green and cloudy so we did not use it. Would have loved to have had a space to put toiletries in the shower as well as a place to rest my foot for shaving. There were 3 plates sitting on a table outside the elevator that were there when we checked in and still there when we check out 2 days later.
