The hotel was recently renovated and it was such a beautiful hotel. Would definitely stay here again. The king room i booked was not avaliable but the front desk offered me the king suite at no extra charge. They were very accommodating. I highly recommend this hotel.

Had to stay in handicap room. Every time the A/C came on sounded like diesel truck idling. Smoking area right out side our window. The smokers talking sounded like they were in our room. The bathroom door handle fell off. Because we booked thru Expedia they offered us free snacks.

Most comfortable bed ever!!

I was in town for a graduation. And after a very long day your hotel was a sanctuary. My room was so spacious and comfortable. The shower had great pressure and the bed was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. Will be back when I’m back in the area

The AC in 210 was unacceptable. It never dropped below 73. When my husband left for his leg of the journey, it was cooler OUTSIDE than it was inside. Very, VERY disappointed.
