Room was very clean and comfortable. Hotel is very convenient to the interstate but tucked away in a quiet area so that you don't have traffic noises all night. I would definitely stay here again.

Using Hyatt name doesn’t do any favors to the brand. Will not be booking Hyatt anymore. It’s shame, as I stayed at Hyatt hotels many times before.

We requested 1st floor which was accomodated but we were in room 111 which is right next to where the ice machine is, the noise is tremendous for the ice and it starts at 430 am or so, very hard to sleep, do not stay in this room or anywhere close to it if you want to sleep. The brrakfeast had pretty much the exact same food everyday and we were there for 3 days, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy everyday, could substitute bacon a day here and there. Also the bathroom floor in our room was very slick, nearly fell and broke my neck. The location was great, was clean, friendly staff, anything that was wrong with our stay could be easily fixed by management.

This property was outdated, and you can tell that whoever the owner is, is definitely a tight wad. They were being stingy with the towels and wash cloths, giving me only 2 of each and I stated that we had 4 guest in our group. There was a crack in the tub, and my husband thought he was going to fall through. The property is also located at the top of a hill, that it looks like you’re going into a scene of the Adam’s Family and the landscaping is not the best either. I will say that breakfast was okay, and they did try to decorate a bit for the Fall Season.

I liked the property. It sits away from the freeway and in a wooded area. It was nice and quiet. The room was extremely clean the hotel was clean the issue was the unit did not cool very well in the room and it's summer time. The breakfast was good.
