Wonderful

Comfortable beds, clean rooms and pretty good breakfast. The only issue is that our room was super loud, with people talking in the hall and the noise from the road. Avoid room 106 if you are looking for a quiet night.
Everything about the hotel was fantastic, the only issue we had was that we waited about 40 minutes to check in. There was a sign at the desk saying the rep was away helping other guests so I wasn’t too bothered by it. 10/10 would stay again
This is our 2nd stay here. We like how quiet and clean it is. We feel at home

Room is fine, place is nice. But after giving us the room, our keys didn't work, had to get them reprogrammed. Then later, someone else tried to enter our room -- that person had been assigned the same room somehow!
Then that evening, the keys stopped working again. A bit of incompetence in an otherwise decent place.
We loved the spaciousness of our room . It had a cute little fireplace and sofa area. It made our stay feel more homey. We enjoyed the breakfast and the pool area too . It was great to have parking and central to where we wanted to be . Only small feedback I could give is I would have preferred blackout curtains instead of the plantation shutters . These looked very cute but I like my room pitch black.
The front desk staff was very friendly. The room itself was large, clean and very comfortable. Great value! I would definitely stay again and take time to enjoy the amenities like the pool and fitness center.
My husband and I stayed at this hotel to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and we really enjoyed our stay at this wonderful hotel. The room was very spacious and clean and comfortable.
Stay was great however they charged my CC on top of what I paid through Expedia an extra almost $200. Had to call to try and get them to fix it. Waiting for a refund.
