I got a great price on this just due to the day/market price... Normally I'm in some lower star hotels so I may be easily impressed, but really, it's a great hotel. The staff was polite and everything was very clean and comfortable, communicative as well. Rec room and pool were crazy to have access to, so if you need to keep up with fitness, they keep these nice, too. Thank you to the staff for such a pleasant hotel experience on all sides.

There were not enough parking spots. My pillow stank of cigarette breath. Room filled with the smell of W33D in the middle of the night. I'm not a negative review writer, but this was a horrible stay.

Great hotel.. a member of hotel staff not so great

The hotel is perfect. I would give 5 stars but our stay started off very rocky with the front desk clerk. We drove hours and got there late. After waiting for a while with no one at the desk, we finally got someone to come to the desk. He may be the rudest person I have ever encountered in any setting. Thankfully we booked with no option of refund so we moved forward with our stay at the hotel. The rest of the staff was incredibly friendly and the hotel was perfect. I hope the gentleman working the desk that night doesn’t deter others from staying there. I was very disappointed in his behavior.
