This is my boyfriends account but gosh I’m so picky with my cleanliness, with the aesthetics of a room and the area that surrounds the place I’ll be staying at and this place, this hotel everything was just perfect. Yummy morning pancakes, made me feel like I was in 5th grade again. My room was beautiful and the ambient lighting in there was perfect! Reminded me of a hotel I stayed at in Switzerland. Oh! and view of that little bank was amazing! Everything was picture perfect! In the hotel and also outside! HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😊

Last minute overnight

We booked a last minute overnight here during a road trip. The hotel was very nice and clean - the only complaint was a hair on the shower floor along with a crack in the shower tub. Breakfast was excellent, and offered several options including healthier choices that most hotel breakfast's don't (egg white omelet and turkey sausage). We would definitely stay here again!

Front desk clerks were very friendly. The beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean considering the facility was under renovations. Housekeeping was good. The only disappointment was the daily breakfast. Most of the food was over cooked. The biscuits and cinnamon rolls were burnt on the bottom.

Stay was good, Booked a Queen Suite and from what I was told the manager changed it since he felt I didnt have enough people to fill the room I guess. Never got a clear explanation as to why my room was changed to a regular room 2 queen room.

Fell and injured. Thin walls no sleep

Before i was able to checkin i fell because handicap access was not marked and blended with sidewalk. Ended up at urgent care as a sprain with possible fracture. Also no sleep due to thin walls and noisy guests throughout entire stay the whole night.

The pool wasn’t open and we were never told that and that was the only reason we booked a hotel. We also asked for a late checkout and it was granted and then in the morning we were called and told to get out because checkout was at 11am and were told they don’t do late checkouts.

They were remodeling my floor-next door! Trying to visit with my son (whom I see only twice/year) while saws and hammers were pounding was frustrating. Second day they were ripping up the hallway carpeting and started replacing it. Drywall dust, debris, and carpet glue was not pleasant
