"Worth It"

I appreciated how dark the room got when sleeping. The room was clean when I stayed there for only one night when I realized that I had accidentally booked the wrong hotel away from our baseball team and had to move hotels they provided me a refund which I was incredibly grateful for.

"Clean hotel awesome people"

All the staff we interacted with were very helpful and polite. I have to mention though that Larry at the front desk was extra helpful. He was able to help me with changing another reservation I had made for the next week. He was courteous and kind. Also, the breakfast hostess, Alfrieda was very cheerful and courteous. She was always in sight and keeping things clean and refilled. The room was quiet and clean. We were very pleased. Overall, excellent!
