Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel had a few drawbacks like the malfunctioning A/Cs in the rooms and some rude service incidents, but overall, the location was convenient and the facilities were satisfying. The dining experience left something to be desired with below-average breakfast options.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were spectacular, and Caleb at check-in couldn't have been nicer. The Waterpark facility was conveniently located just down the hall from our room. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable, featuring a king-size bed, a living room, and a mini kitchen.
My stay at the hotel was mostly positive. The room was spacious and smelled clean, but the soundproofing was not great, especially being close to a noisy maintenance room. The service was a mix - the staff were on the ball and very helpful, but they did not keep up with daily maintenance. The location was convenient to the interstate but a bit far from downtown. Dining options were limited and overpriced. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was simply wonderful. The rooms were incredibly peaceful and quiet, and the cleanliness was top-notch, creating a truly serene environment. However, the check-in time of 3 pm was a slight inconvenience. The service exceeded my expectations with staff going above and beyond during the remodeling, making me feel incredibly comfortable. The location was right off the interstate, which was convenient, but a bit far from downtown. The dining experience had room for improvement, lacking variety in the options. Overall, a great value for the money.
