Will we be back?
We (my wife and I )stay here every year for Black Friday shopping. This year was great, the room did have a smell... It wasn't sewer and it wasn't bad. You just got whiff when you stepped in the door. Shower water pressure was low but good enough for a shower. I'm a tough customer to please however this hotel did it... We'll be back again!

I like how down the road there is a lot of restaurants to pick from and there is a movie theater. The one thing I didn’t like that somehow the pool was closed and could not go swimming. There was nobody at the desk to asked why the pool was not opened. This was Wednesday night the day before Thanksgiving.

New pillows are terrible, very hard, feels like straw. I borrowed a pillow from my son’s house to be able to sleep. These pillows were not a good idea. At least, keep some old ones that guest can ask for. Everything else was great.

The property was very nice. Clean and comfortable. However the toilet didn’t flush well. They may need to check details like that. I did online check in to avoid delays at the desk. I still had to fill out a paper form and show id and credit card. Online is not worth doing.

This was a very nice hotel. The breakfast was one of the best "hotel" breakfasts I have seen and the room was clean. There was a nice lobby area to sit in and there was also a small bar. I would be good for business groups.

Disappointed
The hotel is relatively new. Decor is decent. We upgraded to a king suite and the room was roomy and comfortable for the most part. One of the two televisions didn't work, the shower pressure was extremely low. I went to pull out one of the "clean" folded towels only to discover that it was soaking wet. The sink had a leak that not only soaked the towel but the floor as well. From the look of the shelf, it has been leaking for awhile. Towels were like sandpaper and the tissue box had ONE tissue in it. Chexknin was not great, the front desk guy was not pleasant and didnt greet me upon arrival. Best part of the stay? The free breakfast was actuality pretty tasty.
