Our stay at the hotel was very relaxating. This hotel accommodate 15 of us that were there for a family trip and our stay was great. The staff were exceptional, room cleaned everyday with fresh towels and the buffet breakfast was worth every dime spent. I will truly return back to this hotel, matter of fact a few of us are already planning on returning in November. We cant wait for you to accommodate us again

The room was clean. Staff was pleasant, however there need to be better communication about the property, dos & don'ts when you are being booked in. Staff need to be aware of the number of guests in a room so that it can be stocked adequately. Poor /spotty internet in the rooms. Breakfast was great.

According to my family, the room was clean, comfortable, and very nice. It made their stay much easier during an important medical visit. I’m grateful for the great service they gave my family!

The hotel was affordable and offered good value for the price. Breakfast was well organized and delicious. The building itself was okay, and for a short stay of a few days, the room was a decent size and well maintained. However, the bedding and towels could definitely use an upgrade. The location was very central, with a 24-hour supermarket and several restaurants nearby, which was very convenient. Overall, it’s a good option if you’re looking for a centrally located hotel at a reasonable price.
