Staff was nice and courteous. My kids loved that their was a pool and parking was right outside our door. Room was very clean and had some nice shutter. Wish the shutters would have kept the light out from outside. Maybe if the had a blackout over them

The staff was very attentive. While the hotel was affordable, it was very clean and seemed well maintained. It had everything we need for our stay to include microwave, Keurig coffee maker and pods, flat screen TV, hair dryer, etc. I would stay there again.

3 queen beds is the only reason we chose it. States it is a non smoking hotel...there were people smoking everywhere including in the indoor pool area which clearly was marked no smoking. Had to notify management twice before they did anything . Cigarette butts all over the property: Rooms appear clean but smell very musty. Towel bars and TP bar all rusted. . Review states their bedding is soft which isnt the case. the actual bed was comfortable but the linens were not at all soft. A lot of noise outside in the night. No apparent security/. In room hair dryer broken. notified front desk and they said they would send maintenance/. An hour later no maintenance had arrived. Went to the nearby cvs to buy one. Would not stay again.
