A Great Place To Stay
Pros:

A very clean and specious hotel. Off the roadway and nestled away from all the
hoop-la making it peaceful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was great! My dog was welcomed and treated very sweetly! I will definitely stay here again.

Five star- Wyndham worthy!!
Pros:

Beautiful hotel- five star- great breakfast- clean - good service- beautiful decor. Don’t let the drive though a modern industrial area scare you- well worth the money!

Pros:

I travel quite often for work. I typically know what I'm getting when I stay at a certain chain. I expected a clean room and bed, but this place was a cut above. The lady at the ftont desk was great, the room was amazing, there was hot water almost as fast as i could turn it on. Top notch the best of this chain ive stsyed in 👍

Pros:

Seems like new hotel. Positives: nice clean room w/plenty space. Negatives: not directly off interstate and outside landscaping needed improvement. Neither negative was a problem for us.

Pros:

The room was fine but the toilet would not flush. We did not report it because we didn't think they would send someone up to repair it as it was already 9pm. So part of it was our fault. But I would think housekeeping would have known that.
