    cleanliness issues

    The place feels old and tired, with noticeably outdated furnishings that seem ready for a revamp. Some cleanliness issues popped up, such as visible dust in corners and a lingering musty smell in the room. The limited dining options left us searching for meals outside the hotel, as the onsite restaurant closes too early for late night appetites.

    rain shower
    outdoor hot tub

    I had a great time at this place! The rain shower in my room was amazing, and the mood lighting really set the vibe. I also enjoyed a delicious chicken sandwich at the on-site restaurant. Plus, the outdoor hot tub was the best way to unwind after a long day!

    breakfast pricing
    event check-in

    I stayed here for a quick visit and was mainly looking for a comfortable spot before heading to an event. The outdoor hot tub was the highlight of my stay. it was perfect for relaxing after a long day. The room features were nice, especially the rain shower, which added a bit of luxury. The dining experience was decent with a good chicken sandwich at the on-site restaurant, but I felt the breakfast pricing was a bit steep when I had to pay extra for an omelet.

    unique shower
    no free breakfast

    I loved how cozy our king bed room was, not to mention the amazing cocktails from the friendly bartender. The hotel looked and felt newly renovated, which was a nice touch. The shower was an absolute delight with unique fixtures!

    lack of modern touches
    ambiance issues

    Friendly staff made our family feel welcomed during our stay. The Double Room was clean and spacious, perfect for our needs. My child particularly enjoyed the elevator, and the french fries served at the restaurant were a hit. However, some areas, like the furnishings, felt a bit dated. The overall ambiance lacked modern touches, which could enhance the experience. The location was good, but parking could be clearer in terms of accessibility.

    friendly staff but needs upkeep

    The staff was accommodating and eager to help with our needs during our stay. My children especially enjoyed the unique elevator experience, which was a fun highlight for them.

    The hotel could benefit from more regular maintenance to keep the facilities in top shape.

    Comfortable Stay with Helpful Staff

    We enjoyed our stay while attending a tournament. The double room was spacious and clean. The staff stood out by offering us to-go boxes when we couldn't wait for breakfast. For future guests, reserve a table early at the restaurant to avoid long waits!

    Great for Families with Children

    The staff was friendly and engaged, my kid loved the elevator, oh and those french fries in the restaurant were pretty good too. It was a surprise finding those cozy spaces to hang out, really made it feel personal.

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but it was acceptable.
