8-30 Other than the front desk blonde lady leaving out to smoke a cigarette and talk on the phone. Leaving me there for over 10 mins to do that. Then came back in still on the phone. That was very unprofessional and tacky. But other than that my stay was great.

We stayed at the hotel shortly after it opened and really enjoyed our stay, so decided to go back. Everything was as expected except the room was on the oppisite side of the halway, facing a busy road. The traffic noise was disturbing all night. Luckily it was out of season and we could move to another room the next day and it was great!

Lived up to expectations from other Avid properties we have stayed in. $50 pet fee was a little high... but at last minute there was really no choice but to pay it.
