We had a great stay! The room was nice and clean. The hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. We didn’t get a chance to eat at the restaurant in the lobby, but the menu I saw seemed to have some great dishes. The location was great, with many restaurants, stores, and gas stations nearby. Would definitely stay here again.

Very expensive for a room pretty similar - but smaller - than at a Motel 6. I guess having an indoor elevator accounts for the high price. $194 a night and you don’t even get a throwaway cup for water. Amenities were subpar at this price point.

Our room was pretty clean. Shower dripped so a little old looking. Bedding was comfortable. The pool was excellent. After 5 pm you could order drinks from the bar with a phone by the pool. The staff was incredible! Everyone included from the front desk staff, to the bar staff, and even the maintenance staff (which we just had a passerby conversation with). The food was incredible! The breakfast cost $5 a day and was well worth it!! We also ate dinner in the hotel lobby, and it was delicious! The location is the only con to this hotel. Not really close to downtown or within walking distance to any restaurants or attractions. Neighborhood seemed a little rundown. Due to the service and all the other positives, I would definitely stay here again!
