    Thank you Miss Marion 😊

    Room was very clean, plenty of towels and washcloths and the bed was so comfortable with great pillows - honestly they should give you the option to buy them Miss Marion was so sweet with the bistro breakfast and realizing I didn’t feel well and getting me some tea - thank you

    Overall average

    Rooms average with minor details like carpet pulling up at bathroom entry. Lobby was too warm. Resteraunt was bad for dinner. Frozen burger patty was dry and 0ver cooked. Frozen fries. Only the fried onions and mushrooms on the burger were made fresh. Overpriced for what waqs served. I have had better burgers at "Cook Out" down the road a mile or two for less $$. Breakfast buffet was decent with lots of choice (Sunday AM). I can see why most customers left to eat out.

    Andreus is a model employee

    Just writing to compliment Andreus, who is a model employee. From the moment you arrive, he makes you feel welcome and demonstrates a great customer service attitude. My family had a great stay thanks to Andreus’ problem-solving ability. Overall, the hotel is clean, modern and well-maintained.

    Great Stay!

    Andre is exceptional! He treated us like we were family. Not too many hotels in the world make a guest feel so welcome as this hotel. Andre went out of his way and is a true professional! He is a true asset to this property and to be commended for his work.

    Excellent experience! 4 nights stay .

    We just spent 4 nights at this hotel and the place is super clean ( coming from a cleanliness freak like me), spacious and the service was exceptional. We had breakfast included and it was great. Karlene, Ramona and the gentleman in charge of the cooking delivered great service. Checking in and out was a breeze and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Our family would go back and stay at this location 💯.
