This property is clean & cute. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel had a nice gym, pool, & sitting areas. It would have been nice if there were food & drink options available to stay in. We would have liked to have enjoyed a cocktail/meal & relaxed at the property more if this was available. The breakfast staff was so hard working, kind, friendly, and the food was delicious. This was a huge benefit to staying here.

Terrible experience
Staff was rude and not at all accommodating. I was reminded several times that because I booked through a third party they could not help me. The pull out sofa that I thought we were getting turned out to be a pull out chair and it was not even as big as a twin bed. The king suite was stated to accommodate 4 guests. There is no way. When I explained the situation to the front desk they told me there was a room available with two queen beds but because I booked through hotels. Com they refused to switch our room and my daughter ended up sleeping on the floor. I will never stay at this property again.

Good breakfast
Everything was clean and our room was fairly quiet. I appreciated the AC and the room darkening curtains. The buffet breakfast was really good! Scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and something different each day. But the room was small for a suite, and a little crowded for 5 people. The sofa bed was uncomfortable and the blankets were too small for two people to share in one queen bed, so we didn’t sleep well. I also was charged more than I expected, so I won’t stay here again.
