Room was very clean and smelled good. The lobby had alot of complimentary coffee and tea. We also were giving bottled water when we checked in. Shampoo, conditioner, bodywash and lotion were provided in the bathroom. Pool was nice,only goes to 5 ft deep. Pool area in good condition and has seating with table and chairs.

Excellent place to stay. We booked at last minute and paid very fair price. Clean rooms. King size bed. Clean hallways. Nice pool, too cold for us to get in but it was well maintained. Staff was very friendly. Breakfast area was very clean and organized. Fantastic taco truck 100 feet away!
Comfortable room and extremely comfortable bed. All the amenities needed (eg. clean towels, sheets, lotion, showering needs, etc.). Television with entertainment apps. Quiet and peaceful rest. Good housekeeping and kind staff.
Good location and some nice restaurants that are not far from here. I would definitely stay here again. Buttt there was hair in my towel so the cleanliness could be improved.
It's quiet, clean, and a spacious room. Breakfast is also not bad at all. The front desk and staff are all very nice people.
Great spot to stay before an early flight. Friendly staff. Super clean hotel. Breakfast in AM. Some snacks available for purchase. FREE parking!
Hotel was already all set with Valentine's decorations. The only thing I felt like the shower head pressure was a little low. Night staff at the front desk was beyond nice and friendly.
