Breakfast was perfectly prepared with options for people with varied dietary needs. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and prepared for our arrival with the fridge cold and the air at 70. Well stocked bathroom amenities and decent gym setup as well.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Price and location were good. Breakfast was good. They had nice hot water for shower. But there was no soap on the sink and not enough towels. They don’t make the bed and change the towels. The room smells like mildew.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The hotel was quiet, peaceful, and the staff were friendly and helpful. They explained that the property is older and currently undergoing renovations, which helps explain some of its condition. The room could definitely use some improvements. The curtains were torn and looked very worn, and the carpet felt damp, making it uncomfortable to walk on barefoot. Also, some of the amenities listed on Expedia, such as breakfast and a pool, were not available, so it’s best to expect a basic room during the renovation.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

This is an older hotel with very little updates. The beds are ok. Torn curtains in the room, torn shower curtains. No cable TV. Most of the lights were out in the pool area and algae growing in corner of the pool. Breakfast “suspended” but still listed on booking site. Would not recommend this location!

The room was comfortable, the shower needed repairs but still workable. The staff were amazing and attentive. We were staying for a family funeral and it was easily accessible to church, funeral home and family. We would stay again when seeing family in area.
