Front desk associate was really friendly and helpful. It was a nice quiet stay. Beautiful facility, clean room, the pool area was clean and the perfect temperature. The free breakfast and parking was icing on the cake. Looking to book again soon.

This was a good hotel for the purpose of our stay. We attended a nearby concert, and most of the performers stayed at the same hotel! The room was clean and convenient free breakfast was adequate. The location was very convenient for this day.

I wish they could have made the room at least once. We spent 3 nights and the room wasn't cleaned during the entire stay.
