Budget friendly and staff is nice. Excellent location with really nice indoor and an outdoor pool, plus a hot tub. Loved the biscuits and gravy for breakfast, but they really need to add eggs or potatoes with it.
If management reads this, room 329 needs a completely new vanity light and toilet paper dispenser (why update a room and leave these eyesores). The rest of the room was nice and clean and a/c worked great!

The floors in our room were dirty. The bed was clean and comfortable. The people in the room next door sat outside their room smoking and talking until 1:30 am. The breakfast had no eggs both mornings we were there. On the 3rd morning we went somewhere else to eat. The lady at the front desk gave us someone else’s room when we first checked in. We will not go back there.

We stayed in a king suite on the 3rd floor. Convenient parking garage. Clean quiet room. Even though we were right next to the main road, our room was quiet. Room was very spacious. Large walk in shower with glass doors. EXCELLENT WATER PRESSURE! We walked to nearby restaurants & shops. Staf was friendly & helpful. Great value.

It’s an older hotel so knowing that, it was pretty clean. Could use some upgrading for sure. The staff at the front desk was great. Breakfast was good. Just disappointed in all the smoking around the area. There is a cute fire pit, but everyone there was smoking. Everyone was smoking on the balconies. May not be a problem for others, but not being a smoker, it was disappointing. The pool area is decent, but gets shaded early in the afternoon. And it is very small. We did not use the indoor pool.

Check-in person wasn't customer service-minded so bad first impression, but one of the maintenance men went out of his way to help me with several items (hen the front desk didn't answer two calls on separate phones). Underground parking spaces were tight. Breakfast was adequate, but no hot water or tea bags for tea drinkers. Worst situation was guests had to pay for ice from an on-site ice machine. The two pools were highlight. Jacuzzi was inviting. Good value for reasonable price.
