The property was nice, however, there was construction going on behind the property so that was not great to try and sit out ono the patio and enjoy outside with the dirt and construction going on behind the hotel.
They want you to check in right at 3 no earlier..thats what lady told me cuz we tried . Then there was a line to check in. Other lady that did actually check me in was nice tho felt bad for her tho cuz other lady Lucy left her with long line to check in by herself cuz it was time for her to be off work.

I enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely go back.
Friendly front desk staff, quick check in. Room was very clean but did have a strange damp feel about it. Our room door didn’t lock the entire time we were there- as in, we didn’t need a key to enter our room so that was concerning. We did alert the front desk who said they would “look into it”. Breakfast was not great- not many choices and the eggs were cold all three mornings. Overall it was a nice hotel and the cleanliness was very much appreciated
Kelsey was great! We had a big group for softball nationals and she went above and beyond for us! Will definitely stay again if we come back to the area
