We have stayed at this location many times. The rooms are always well maintained and staff is always courteous. We do recommend a little bit better care of the parking area. There was a lot of trash and debris throughout the parking area. Also, would give the Hooters portion of the property a fresh paint job and maybe some kind of lighted sign on the side wall and a sign up front with an open sign because it always looks closed.

Good overall

Overall hotel is good, really clean. The staff is really helpful and hotel policies are really good, flexible. For example I paid for 4 nights when we got there but had to leave early and only used two nights and they reimbursed the difference. Is a good hotel for a short stay. They do not have cribs for babys, is the only complaint i have from my stay.
