Pleasantly surprised

Great value. Extra clean. Friendly staff. Good location. Pool was clean. Better than most hotels in this price range. Breakfast was also better than most. Had a much needed pleasant break away from the kids with the wife. Would definitely return.

There was no elevator at this location. Terribly inconvenient. Very hard on my knees and back. Can't believe in this day and age it's allowed. There was no mention of this on their web page and they made no concessions at check in. Just bad business.

Quick stay

Stayed one night for a dance competition. Our room was clean and comfortable and we were happy with our stay. The location was decent for what we needed and the parking lot was well lit. Breakfast was ok…decent choices and our daughters enjoyed the pool for a bit. Staff was nice.
