Great location with everything our family needed. It was quiet, clean and the staff were very friendly and hospitable. Would recommend. Will be back.
Brandon, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

We booked 2 rooms. Room was nice and big as described. Both room had lots of carpet stains. Shower was very uncomfortable, having only 2 feet between wall and shower curtain was not pleasant, since there was no way to shower without curtain being against you. Check-in staff was OK but parking very limited.
