We stay here often to visit family in the area. Our experience is consistent in that the hotel is clean and staff is professional. We are not big breakfast eaters so I can’t say much about it. But it does have a wide variety of offerings. There is a restaurant, the Green Mill right next door. We feel the food is pretty good for the price! Also, this hotel is very pet friendly! Pool and hot tub areas are nice and clean.

Not Happy
The hotel needs to be updated/upgraded. TVs, carpet and woodwork out of date. Toilets too low for older travelers. Breakfast area had No juice - machine not working and ran out of most food items
Upon entering our room, there was a potent stench of weed. We were assigned a no smoking room too. I went down to inquire about either a new room or housekeeping but was denied both and simply given febreze for me to spray. Upon checkout the next morning, the front desk asked me questions that I had no reason knowing, like if my card had already been charged for a pet fee. I had no idea and thought that was something that should be communicated in their system. Later that day I noticed the pet fee had been charged twice.

I liked it, but I left a day earlier and they still charged me the night I was supposed to be there
Check in was very fast and convenient. The room was spacious with modern elements and a very comfortable matress. The bathroom was also modern and clean. We would have preferred warmer lighting for the floor and desk lamps too make the room feel cozier. Pet area around one of the back corners of the property. The breakfast was also very tasty. Loved small the omelets! Worth the price!
This was truly one of the nicest hotels that we have ever stayed in! The rooms for clean, the staff was wonderful, and the breakfast was fabulous. We would definitely stay here again. We give it an A++ rating
This was nothing specific against the property. There were multiple children's baseball teams staying there and they acted like animals in all the public areas, including the dining room. They were very slow to clean up after them. Not that they should have had to, as it was their parents job to keep them in line! But as a fellow guest, the dining area was pretty disgusting by that point.
