Quick overnight to watch the big game

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in a long time. We stopped for a night to watch the Super Bowl. What a great choice. The sports bar had all kinds of specials and everyone from the bartenders to other guest were great! The hot breakfast was the best we’ve had with an omelette bar, waffles, grits and some delicious chocolate chip bars that honestly tasted homemade! The hallways are bright and wide. Rooms were large, quiet and immaculate with very comfortable beds. Easy access from the expressway as well. We will definitely stay again.

I stay at this property approximately once a month for the last year. It’s convenient to my local area business/personal requirements. Overall, I like the property especially the pool/Jacuzzi and the omelette bar for breakfast. The room however, is just OK. I stay usually in one of the King suites which gives me a little more space. The bed is fine, but the furniture needs to be changed out. Additionally, the bathroom area and shower needs to be modernized. The overall hotel requires some modernization. The hotel gets the basics right and has great potential, but it needs to be updated.

Great Find

Overall experience was excellent. If I had to complain about anything, I do not prefer the pillows they use. This was an excellent find, considering it was significantly cheaper than other options.
