Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Staff was amazing! Heather and Marcedes at the desk in evenings and Lisa in the AM were all incredibly helpful and friendly. Richar who came by daily to clean the room always made sure I had fresh towels and anything else I could need. The lady who prepped breakfast was quick and friendly, though I dont think the food is worth the prices they are charging for it. The rooms are a bit dated but were fairly well maintained and clean besides the floors, which could definitely benefit from a steam cleaning. Overall a great experience for the price, but will definitely bring slippers or something if I stay again so I dont have to walk barefoot on the room floors.”
