Reviews

"Clean and comfortable"

Booked solid but our stay was great.

Claron C. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room)

Verified Review, stayed from Sat Aug 29 to Sun Aug 30 2026 at a $202.99 average nightly rate.

"Great experience no issues"

We had a great stay.

Howard G. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room)

Verified Review, stayed from Fri Jan 30 to Sun Feb 01 2026 at a $211.00 average nightly rate.

"Room Review"

My room was okay, but it had a damp, musty smell about it, probably because the carpet needs to be replaced. The stopper in the sink was missing, but maintenance did replace it with one that didn't quite fit. The floor of the bathtub was slick, but I was able to get a tub mat from the front desk. The room itself was comfortable and roomy, but needs some updating.

Verified Review, stayed from Wed Jul 09 to Mon Jul 14 2025 at a $157.25 average nightly rate.
