Jennifer, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely loved our stay here! The front desk staff was friendly, and check-in was quick and easy. Our room was spotless, with clean surfaces and everything well-dusted. The location is super convenient—just minutes away from Walmart, Target, fast food options, and the highway. The kids had a blast in the pool, which was well-maintained and clean. I would definitely stay here again!

6/10 Good

The hallways were blowing heat. It was 90 degrees outside. It was an unpleasant walk to the room. Headboards on the bed were very dirty. I don’t think they wash them

Horrible
Morufu, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a family wedding on the same weekend as graduations were happening, so the hotel was booked. We needed 3 rooms for 2 nights each. One of the rooms did not have a working shower and had a musty smell, so we were moved to a different room for the second night. The beds were a little on the hard side, but had a pillow top so they were mostly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good and the pool was in decent shape, so the grandkids enjoyed a swim.
Laura, 2-night trip

Very friendly and helpful staff
Melissa M, 1-night trip

Overall Acceptable Stay

Stayed there two nights, had a good breakfast, quality service, clean rooms, and overall an acceptable stay for the decent price.
Clayton, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff makes this a great place to stay

The one downside was there are only two handicap parking places. Definitely the upside was the two lovely ladies that work the front desk. They were fun to talk to, laugh with and they showed concern for my daughter who was recovering from ankle surgery. Yes, the beds were comfortable. Yes the room felt safe and offered relaxation. But it is BECAUSE OF THEM I will consider staying here again. We had my other daughter's small dog staying with us. They loved on her and were excited ( along with a friend's daughter) to see her daily. Maple was also looking for them and was overjoyed to see them everytime we came down for a potty break. They were an excellent representation of how this hotel felt more like coming home, home to neighbors that made you feel welcome and included. Everytime we seen them they were cleaning or refreshing the place. Their dedication to service was marvelous. I know if Maple stays there again, she will be looking for their attention.
