Liked: Amenities
So we stayed 2 nights, the room was great except for the fact the tub/showrr didnt completely stop the water from going to the tub while in shower mode. Then the toilet everytime you flushed, it made a horrible screaming sound for at leadt a minute after flushing. Also we needed a plunger at one point, and the staff couldnt find it. It took about an hour and a half before they finally called saying they found it. As a family of 4 with 2 small children, not having a toilet was annoying. We had to go to the lobby to use the restroom. It was the most disappointing part of our trip. Everything else was great!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The staff was great, but the room had some issues. The bathroom door wouldn't latch. Also the shower caulk definitely needs replaced/or cleaned better. The office chair wanted to tip over if you tried to sit back. The room and bed were very comfortable though. This is the perfect place for us to stay at so I hope they take care these issues.

We like the convenience of location, only a few minutes away from family members. What we didn’t like was we were given the wrong room from what we requested & paid for. Once it was corrected, we were placed in a room at the 4th floor where wallpaper in the hallway is peeling off and one of the lamp shades were damaged with rips. Not what we expected and definitely have not experienced before.

Our checkin experience was great. Jo was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Actually, everyone was friendly. The hotel was within 5-10 minutes of everywhere we needed to go. Nice breakfast with nice variety of foods and drinks.Nice size room. Bed comfortable. Couch and footstool worn and in need of recovering or replacement. Adequate amount of electrical outlets and chargers.

Will stay again

Would have given 5 stars other than the hot tub was broken and there was a dead small bug (assuming it was a tick) in the tub. Other than that beds were comfortable, amentities were good, and breakfast was good.
