We had a layover from work. The property was being renovated but very clean and pleasant. Never heard any noise through our stay. Pool and pet friendly with lots more. Wishes beds were a little more comfortable, but other than that excellent..

Overall good stay. Hair dryer in bathroom was full of fabric or something making it unusable but that was not super necessary. Quiet hotel, comfy bed and decent breakfast

I want a full refund from ths POS hotel

Do not stay here. The rooms are horrible. The floor above us made the walls shake. We called front desk, who said you must be on 1st floor, the kids on 2nd florr make the walls rattle whne they run. It was 11pm before we could sleep. The bathroom shower was a joke. The water pressure from the broken shower head was so poor, it made it almost impossible too get shampoo out of hair. They are trying to remodel, half the hallwys have wall paper pealing off the walls The parking lot has so many holes it was very difficult to get in or out without damaging the car.

Be aware that they will charge you an additional $150 deposit upon check in that is not noted at booking. It was stated that the deposit would be returned at the time of check out but I didn't receive mine back for over a week. Sheets and towels were also covered in stains. Breakfast was fine and staff was nice enough, but I will not be staying at this chain ever again.
