A++
We recently stayed at this hotel while in town for a hockey tournament, and it was an excellent choice! The hotel was exceptionally clean, from the lobby bathrooms to the pool area and our room. It was clear that cleanliness is a top priority here. The location was convenient—only about 5 minutes from one rink and 30 minutes from another. While the extra drive time to the farther rink was a consideration, it was absolutely worth it for such a well-kept hotel with friendly and accommodating staff. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable, and their warm hospitality stood out. We’d definitely recommend this hotel to others, especially those traveling for sports tournaments, and we would stay here again.

One thing that got to me.
Great stay. Excellent hotel. One thing that got to me was during our checkout. The person at the desk was using her laptop and completely ignored me when I told her that I was checking out. I had to wait a minute or two before she acknowledged me. Not a friendly person.

High end at a quality price
I was in town to DJ for my friend who had her event at the hotel. Everything was very great from the food at the party to the room. Very clean and very modern. High end room for a reasonable price. Amazing shower water pressure especially on the second floor! Super friendly staff . Highly recommended!

4/10 Fair

When we checked in the gyluy was very rude. We had presents for my daughter, he kept telling us we couldnt throw a party there, we just stayed the night to celebrate it being her bday. We didnt invite people there. Bugs in the room. I was told the pool was closing at 8 due to a light. Left the pool to find people still swimming it stayed open until a storm had them close it. The power went out or something. I could not order food. After walking down there and waiting. They said system and phone down too. Had to order walk back then go back and pick up. Was over cooked and steak not well done. Workers unfriendly. Noticed a roach and who knows what else. Took photos. Only nice person was the young man at the desk at check out time. Unfriendly not wanted feeling. Couldnt wait to leave, wont stay again. People in the area have parties there doesnt mean we were. Just us and the kids for a night of movies and pool. Cant rent movies or anything either

I loved the decor in this hotel. It was luxury at an affordable price. Staff was professional and kind. The only downside was the that it was pretty noisy. You could hear other people walk around their rooms. The pool was beautiful. I attended for a conference and the conference rooms were good and the food served was tasty. Highly recommend this hotel.
