Great property for the price. Very accommodating. Room smelled musty a little but a quick febreeze spray fixed that. Fit the entire family. Water pressure was great in the showers and staff was awesome. Will definitely stay again when in the area.

Room was huge! At least on the first floor it must be 12 foot ceilings. Very clean and comfortable. Wish we were staying longer. Front desk clerk was super nice as well.

Nice place to stay, recently updated room that was huge. Bathroom was also big but lacked place to hang your towel near the shower or a shelf in the shower to hold your soap, shampoo or conditioner. Just needs some finishing touches but would stay here again.

The only addition I would say to this hotel was adding hot water to the breakfast bar for the oatmeal because the oatmeal and those little Styrofoam containers melted in the microwave and hot water for hot tea
