Great Stay!
We stayed here 2 nights for our Six Flags getaway! The hotel is updated, clean, and all staff was friendly. The breakfast was delicate and we enjoyed how some of the options changed so it wasn't the same each day.

I like this hotel because it is close to everything, there’s a lot stores, restaurants, gas, close to the military base but I don’t like the cleanliness because we stay there for 5 days and I have to put garbage out every day because they don’t clean, when I saw the cleaning lady, I asked her if she could give a trash bag because I needed to clean the garbage room and she said “ take it, I am very tired “ I also have to ask for towels to the receptionist because we were there for 5 days and we need clean towels and we were in the 4th floor so I have to clean the room every day.
