They do a good job, everything was clean and in good repair. Staff was friendly. Rooms were fairly quite. Swimming pool was fairly small. OK for the kids to play in or to do aerobic exercise but you are not going to swim laps. Easy access onto Meridian so easy to get in and out for wherever you needed to go. The breakfast was bar was well stocked, precooked standard fair eggs, cereal, bagels, sweet rolls, yogurt. etc. Will definitely stay there again when we are in the area.

The hotel is like new since the remodel. Very clean, very nice environment. Everything except some of the Gen Z wingnut employees made the stay great. Can't blame the hotel for the asocial idiots they are forced to hire.

We had the best New Year’s Eve celebration with our family here. Our toddler loved the pool, which was a warm temperature for us, parents, too!! The staff were so helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. This is our new favorite staycation spot!! Plus, I believe we just started a new family tradition!!
