Great stay

Our room was on the 4th floor, towards the back, so it was quiet and restful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The front desk personnel, Spencer and Alba were helpful. We had to ask for towels for the pool area, and my husband was short with Alba, but she was still professional and pleasant. (Sorry, Alba!) Later we asked for milk to go with some dessert that we brought back, and she was helpful then as well. I would stay here again.

Watch for “incidentals”

Our credit card was swiped at check in and the girl explained it was just for incidentals. Then we got our credit card bill and received a $75 charge for a pet fee. I feel we should have been told they were going to charge us a pet fee at check in. There was no mention of this.

Great place

We were there for the State Track meet. Great location with bars and restaurants wishing walking distance. Only a 15 minutes drive to Drake Stadium. Hotel is clean, very well maintained, and a great value for the price. Just FYI there are no ice machines, but they have complementary bags of ice that you can grab at any time in the snack area. We will definitely stay here again next year.
