The only complaint I have is that the bed was too hard and the pillows way too soft. Other than that it was a great stay.

Give this hotel a try!

This is a very nice hotel. Everything is new and clean. The staff are very customer focused. They started serving breakfast 45 minutes earlier than scheduled because we had to leave early Saturday morning. The beds are a little too soft for my liking, but that is the only negative for me.

Best Customer survice!

We celebrated my granddaughters birthday. The lady that took my call when i had questions, was the same lady that checked us in. I wish i would have gotten her name.She was wonderful!! She wished my granddaughter a happy birthday, at breakfast the next day she asked how swimming was. She smiled everytime we seen her! The best customer service I have ever had staying somewhere!! We are from Defiance, so this was in our hometown. She still asked if we needed anythign. I just truly appreciate her kindness!!
