We stayed for one night and its was good enough. I'll stay again. Nothing luxurious but since cleanness and silence are my priorities, I can say that the hotel fulfilled those priorities. Bed was spotless and the location was very good if you are by car. They have a little microwave, which they don't announce in the Booking site. It was very helpful. Breakfast is good enough but there are not healthy option beside the oatmeal. The do have some almond milk.
The person at the front desk was not friendly enough, but certainly there are other nice people there. The coffee is the worst possible; I can't even consider coffee but a kind of tea?

Everything was great and the staff friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were better than most. The hot foods changed each day, there was a fresh pancake making machine and fresh fruit. The 2 queen room was very large. I didn't use the pool but it looked fine. Several restaurants close by were easy to get to and had good food. Staff was friendly and helpful. Every one worked hard to make the stay enjoyable.

Having a real early flight I liked that to go food was available and liked the variety. (The front desk attendants were unaware of whether to go food was available.) The building outside and inside were very attractive and very clean. My room was very nice, bed & pillows comfortable and I loved the showerhead. I've come across many dumpy places that advertised nice looking pics so I was delighted to see this property was very pleasing. Thank you.
Even though I forgot my bathing suit I peered through the window of the pool area & was not delighted to see what looked like greasy foam or something floating everywhere.

The hotel was conveniently located with many places to eat within walking distance or a short ride. While we didn't have time to use the pool, it looked great. The breakfast buffet was very good, and staff were friendly. Ample parking, a breeze to checkin and checkout.
It was a little pricy for what was offered.

Perfect location, comfortable rooms, Sierra at reception was extremely helpful and lovely. B
Towels were too small and hate the fact that everything at breakfast is single use throw away. Not enough concern towards the environment. Breakfast wasn’t great. Coffee was like warm and food was mediocre.

The room was a good size. It was comfortable. The decor was appealing aw well. Breakfast had a nice selection of items. Front desk staff very personable and friendly. Easy check in and check out.
Having one more towel and two more wash cloths. I was able to get a towel from the front desk (I was actually given several, which was nice, but there were no wash cloths that could be located. We used the longer hand towels like a wash cloth. It worked, but wash cloths would have been better.

Very large room...but very, very! Clean, comfortable. Good breakfast. Excellent.
The TV was not installed in the wall mount, but just sitting on on the desk looking like it could fall any time my kids moved around it (and I would get the blame). Someone slipped my bill below the door at 2-3am and woke me up; I wish I was asked if I wanted it delivered that way.

Our key cards had to be reprogrammed several times. when I finally asked why we were told that they are very sensitive and that cell phones could disrupt them. May I recommend that this information is shared upon check-in.

We didn't have breakfast at the hotel, but it looks like a nice setup.
We had to move to a new room because the safe was broken in our initial room. It would have been good to know that before we moved in the first time, since we did need use of one. But the reception desk employee was very nice and quick to help us make the switch.
