The front staff charged more to my card than what my booking was for and said id receive it back in 3-5 business days. The food was kinda gross which is deciving from the pictures online. Overall the property was decent, the rest of the staff were friendly.

This was our stay 2nd at this location - we stayed back in July also. This visit was lacking. Our room was 106. It had a stale smell.. like the carpets needed a good cleaning. We had several issues with the room being just doors down from the laundry room and the rear exit. Too much foot traffic and talking. Doors slammed shut HArd all during the night as people went in and out of their rooms. Then in the morning, housekeeping banged the vacuum against the door several times while vacuuming the hallway. It just wasn't a pleasant stay! My husband and I are tired because of all the noise and disturbance in the hall during the night.

I REALLY like this hotel. The staff are great, the place is spotless, the breakfast is yummy, the beds are super comfy. I've stayed here twice and had a great experience both times. Unfortunately, I won't be staying here again for one reason: the road noise outside the hotel is TERRIBLE. This hotel is right next to an off ramp for a major highway-- I-495-- and all night long, both times I stayed, I heard semi trucks coming on and off the ramp, downshifting, and generally making a LOT of noise. I barely slept, either night, and I just can't endorse it as 'excellent' for that reason. I wish I could.

The bed was great, best thing about the property. I have never been to a hotel that has pool hours so restrictive, some days the pool was only open for 3 hours- very strange for a family friendly hotel. Breakfast was ok, they do have a good beverage selection but the food was as to be expected for continental.

Friendly staff, clean hotel, loved the hot breakfast! Wish there was juice choices and not just water, but can’t really complain when the mini fridge is stocked with chocolate milk either haha. 5 stars would stay here again
