A great experience staying at this hotel. Particularly enjoyed the spacious rooms, all the little amenities (and coffee in the front lounge). Particularly what stood out for me was the breakfast buffet. The food was amazing and high-quality. Martha and Regina do a fabulous job of maintaining the food areas clean, well stocked, and very welcoming.

Out dated

Front desk & staff were excellent! Low stars for out dated, & room wasn’t all the way cleaned, was looking for something we thought dropped under couch, and found dirt,toys,pen & then went along beds & found more toys. TV’s small, & older versions, beds were very hard.

This property is clean & cute. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel had a nice gym, pool, & sitting areas. It would have been nice if there were food & drink options available to stay in. We would have liked to have enjoyed a cocktail/meal & relaxed at the property more if this was available. The breakfast staff was so hard working, kind, friendly, and the food was delicious. This was a huge benefit to staying here.
