Front desk and meals were great! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Really good food and breakfast is more than just a continental breakfast. Room bathroom is outdated but clean. Bed was extremely hard.

The people who work there are super nice and helpful. Breakfast was great. Beds were not comfortable. The air conditioning was not good very noisy. Too much light was coming into the room at night.

The room was very nice and it was quiet. The biggest disappointment was the advertisement of a pool and hot tub, which is why I chose this property over others. Turns out the hot tub has been eliminated. If you're looking forward to soaking sore joints, stay elsewhere.

Weekend
When I checked in a customer came up to the desk and was using bad profanity. It was awful and I felt uncomfortable about the situation. My room was so far away from the elevator and I had so many items .

The hotel could use a few updates. The location feels safe, and well lit. The AC was very noisy, and the vent into the room is over the bathroom, so the all the odor comes into the sleeping area. The hot tub is no longer functioning, and you don’t know until you arrive and see the sign at the check in desk and on the information sheet they hand you. Breakfast was missing a few basics - honey or syrup for the waffles, or juice. They offer coffee, hot water for tea, cold water and ices tea only. Nothing really for any children guests. The safe was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant has tasty food at reasonable prices. There is also and elevator, but it’s at the other end of the building from the main entrance and lobby - we didn’t find it until we wert looking for the pool.

Our stay was fine. I suggest that you install grab bars in the showers in all rooms, not just in the accessible rooms.
