Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was grossly overpriced for the quality, with subpar rooms that had a pull-out couch and hair on the sheets. It could have been a touch cleaner, but overall, for the money, I'd stay again.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was exceptional. However, the dining options left something to be desired, and the air conditioning unit was a bit loud. The hotel's location was convenient, making it easy to access nearby attractions.
The hotel had some mixed experiences. The rooms were clean and fresh-smelling, but unfortunately noisy due to nearby conference rooms causing disturbances in the early morning. The service was a hit-or-miss with some staff being very helpful while others seemed indifferent. The location was convenient right off the interstate but could have been better maintained for a more appealing stay. The dining experience was subpar with limited offerings compared to other hotels. Overall, it's a decent choice with both positives and negatives to consider.
