Absolutely wonderful and Johnny at the front desk was amazing we will definitely stay again. The property was very clean a d everyone was super friendly. Breakfast was really good each morning.
Stayed 3 nights and everything was great. Check in and out was easy. Staff was very nice! Room was clean and comfy. Breakfast was yummy. Will definitely stay there again!
Breakfast was adequate (included scrambled eggs, diced potatoes, sausage links, 2 waffle makers (needed to run the waffles through 2 cycles in order to get them to cook properly), yogurt machine and a Nestle coffee machine which provided good coffee). Some furniture was a little outdated but beds seemed newer and were comfortable. Showerheads were high (great if you are tall) with good flow. Staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Only real complaint was that our room had an awful mildewy smell to it. Hotel was booked so we couldn’t switch rooms to know if it was just ours.
We stayed here before a tour at the University. After a long day, the staff greeted us and were very friendly. The beds were comfortable. There is not a coffee maker in the room (if you’re like me and want some before you even attempt to do anything in the morning) BUT they have a coffee station 24/7 in the lobby. Breakfast was decent - eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles/pancakes, yogurt, cereal, bagels, etc. we had a decent meal before leaving for the days’ activities.
This hotel was the perfect location for me. The continental breakfast had a lot to choose from. I did have one problem with my bathroom. However, when I notified the front desk it was fixed within 5 minutes. I would stay here again.
