8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Mar 2026
Location was the reason I chose this place. It is close to the hospital my son was in. The room was attractive, spacious, and comfortable. Loved the modern bathroom with the walk in shower. The free breakfast was fantastic!
When I first walked in, there was no one at the reception desk. It took a couple minutes of looking around for an employee before she noticed me and came to assist me.
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2026
Great location and clean rooms!! Staff was amazing overall. Caught a billing error and fixed it before I even knew about it.
The hot tub was a little cooler than I prefer and juice machine was out of order at breakfast. Overall not deal breakers.
