Not too crowded, WHICH IS A PLUS FOR ME N THE FAM. EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE, FROM THE TIME TO CHECKIN AND CHECKING OUT. My daughter is special need didn’t need that much but requested a few things. And without hesitation they accommodated our needs in a flash!!!! Just the entire staff is super nice and made our stay comfortable and have us coming back because of that.

We could’ve had housekeeping clean our room since we were there for two days. They just brought us towels but didn’t ask if we needed service or needed other complimentary toothbrushes or toothpaste. Which we have but needed a cleaning.

I loved the hospitality. All the staff were very welcoming and accomodating

There was a large organization or family there and it was very noisy outside and above me. I requested my room be changed for the last day and the staff was very accomodating.

The staff was fantastic, everyone was very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for the price, many fast food options at walking distance from the hotel and there is a small gym in the hotel to burn all these calories

Great location, great breakfast. First morning bunch of people crashed the breakfast that weren't actually staying at the hotel. No food left - not really the hotels fault. Second morning was perfect!

Didn't sell or offer plain water, had to go to 7-11.

Senior staff Joanie was great. Handled complaints well.

Breakfast had a lot of unfilled containers- nuts, brown sugar, spoons etc. I would have liked to have been informed that cleaning service wasn't available every day.
