Basic stay

Very clean. Needed a one night stay and this was perfect for the price. The building and interior is dated and our facet handle was loose, but beds were comfortable and shower was great! Would stay there again.

We've stayed here a lot in the past. I did prefer the way that Americinn did a few things differently and I do understand that they are under remodel, so I expect things to be a little better next time. I would appreciate a small laundry bag in the room like they used to give. The card/key is a little finicky, the TV remote didn't control the volume. A bath mat would be nice but not necessary. I think the value you get is pretty good for what you get but it would be nice to have those things like Americinn used to do, hence the 4 starts. We'll stay here again in the future. Dave is a very pleasant and responsive manager and we look forward to seeing him again.

This place is a hidden gem. It’s clean, safe, comfortable, and welcoming. The gorgeous lobby is like a 5 star resort. My room was furnished with a comfortable bed plus a fridge, microwave, safe, & desk with 2 chairs. There is an indoor swimming pool, a business center and excellent parking. I highly recommend staying here!

Disappointed wife!

Wife was highly disappointed! Booked the room there because it had a hot tub. Upon arrival we discovered the hot tub was out of service. Booked the room for 4 guest 2 adults and 2 kids. Was charged an extra $25 at the time of check in because my oldest kid was above the age of 12. I've never had that happen to me before.
