Terrible Hotel
Booked this hotel because it said it had a pool and hot tub, got there and they had a sign saying it was closed for renovations. Got the room keys and went to the room and the room had a smoke smell to it, went and told the front desk and the guy came down to the room and was rude about it and said it didn’t smell and I had to argue with him to get a different room, second room had a smell to it but wasn’t as bad. I ended up staying in that room due to the fact I was tired and knew it would be a fight to get a different room or refund! Terrible service and staff not friendly!!! Definitely will never stay there again

This hotel chain has always been one of our favorites. The room is very clean, bed is very comfy, bathroom is super clean! The front desk staff is friendly. They have a bathtub-shower combo which is our first priority to look for in a hotel. They even provide dental kit and other personal items upon request. And they have room service too.
