Cleanliness
7.5
Many reviewers call the property clean, odor-free, and updated, but several reports of stained bedding, dirty shower curtain, hair on floor and stained towels in at least one stay lower the score.
Service
8.4
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, helpful and quick at check-in (named staff praised), though a few service hiccups occurred (reservation/charging disputes, needing to request extra keys).
Location
8.5
Multiple comments note a convenient location for travel and suitable as a stopover; no major location complaints.
Room Quality
8
Rooms often described as comfortable, updated, with good beds and pillows; however some guests reported old/springy beds and one severe incident of multiple stained items.
Amenities
7.8
Helpful amenities like EV chargers and efficient elevators praised, but recurring issues with the pool (cold, out of service, towels unavailable) and at least one broken charger plug reduce the score.
Value for Money
7.9
Generally seen as reliable and a good stop for travelers, but billing/confirmation mistakes and a reported charge dispute detract somewhat from perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Breakfast is repeatedly praised (variety, waffles, hot and cold selections) though a few instances of slow buffet replenishment or empty items were reported.
Overall Experience
8.6
Overall stays are positive with many guests saying they'd return: friendly staff, comfortable rooms and good breakfast dominate impressions despite isolated cleanliness and pool issues.

Pros:

We loved everything about this hotel. Staff were friendly and facilities were clean. The only issue we had was the pool was cold and often weren’t pool towels but not a huge deal. Breakfast each morning was a win with kids and they loved being able to make their own waffles!

Disappointing
Pros:

We were supposed to have joining rooms but hotel said they didn’t get the message. We proved that it was on our confirmation. Check in gal said she would give the rooms at 1/2 price. When we got the credit card statement we were charged the full amount.
No towels in pool area. Had to ask for some. Wanted 3 but only got 2. Breakfast buffet was empty when arrived. Had to wait 15 minutes to replenish items.

Pros:

This was one of the few cases that the reviews tricked me. The check in process was quick and painless. Once we got to the room it had an unclean odor and quickly noticed the bedding had stains in several different locations. Unfortunately, the bedding wasn't the only thing that had stains. A couple of the towels and a wash cloth also had stains. There was also a wash cloth left over on the shower rod and the shower curtain was dirty. The bag that had the blow dryer in it was also stained. We had driven 10 hours this day and needed rest, but it was very hard to sleep in filth. I am topically a postive only reviewer, but I want management and others to be aware.

Pros:

Hotels.com some how made a mistake and didn’t send our confirmation to the hotel, not the hotels fault. They couldn't find our reservation and after almost an hour on the phone with hotels.com we were finally able to check in. The stay itself was excellent, breakfast was great.

Pros:

Pool out of service when called to ask they said they could not say if the pool was working or not. Hair all over bathroom floor that was not ours. Beds are a little old and you can feel the springs. Had to basically beg for a second room key.
