Pleasant stay close to all our needs. Breakfast could have been better as food service stated 16 20 minutes wait on food. We ate little and did not have time to wait since others were waiting and the area wasn’t crowded. Had to ask for towels at 12am since there wasn’t any in the room. Front desk was friendly and accommodating. Would stay again especially the area was very close to everything.

This property is older but definitely just remodeled. Pool furniture still vibrant. Fresh painted building and clean updated rooms. So many workers keeping the place tip top shape. Only disappointment was the hot breakfast eggs were premade omelets that were crunchy on the outside. But plenty of other options. Great value for the area.

Room was clean and stocked with towels. The coffe pot and microwave did not work but it ok as I was only there for 2 days. Parking lot was a bit tight. Area had plenty of eatery near by and close to airport and highways. Id stay again as beds were very comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property owners knew that they had a hot water issue but let me rent the room anyway. Had no hot water from 4:00 p.m. when we checked in until almost 9:30 the following morning. Renting rooms with no hot water in the hotel is unacceptable and illegal. Air conditioning unit was leaking condensation all over the front carpet so the carpet was wet and smelled like mildew. Attitude of the workers and the owners there is very cavalier they offer no compensation for not having hot water and for poor facility maintenance. Will not recommend this hotel nor will I stay here ever again.
