Service from the staff was excellent and they were very friendly. The bed was very comfortable and the property is in a very ‘quiet area” or so it seemed as it was not noisy. I have an electric vehicle and I did have to pay to charge it overnight even though I thought it was complimentary because I was staying there! Overall good experience.

Close but not yet there

I thought the hotel was clean and in good shape but I will not be staying here again because the tv channel selection was terrible. Only sports and news very little entertainment. Breakfast was so so at best.

Nice place overall. I like the breakfast area. Wireless chargers and a place to be outside your room. Very busy with teams and groups. Over crowed pool weekend and week days. Dumpster overloaded the 4 nights we were there. Rooms newly renovated but missing key elements. Great staff.
