June 2025

This hotel has recently been renovated (they were working on the 1st floor when we were there in June 2025); floors 2 and 3 are completed. Our room was on the 2nd floor, right behind the elevator, ice machine, etc. We were worried about the noise but we heard nothing! Never heard other guests in the halls so must be well insulated; we saw lots of other guests outside by the pool or in the lobby area so we know we weren't there alone. The beds were very comfortable, and I'm a very picky sleeper, so for me to be happy is a huge win! Loved the walk in shower, but could've used a shelf for our own products. Didn't eat breakfast there so can't comment on that. The location worked well for us; near quite a few dining establishments. The pool area was very nice. Lots of storage area in the room, so we could unpack. Coffee maker, microwave and small fridge were well used by us.

We have no complaints.

The staff was friendly they actually let me check in a little early

There is construction going on the entire first floor. After I checked out the next day I got a phone call that said they wanted my card information again because for some reason they needed it on file but the hotel was paid for when I checked in I signed the paperwork and everything but they're continuously calling me wanting my card number again which made no sense. I feel like they're trying to scam me.

They were doing renovations, and didn't put on their site. So breakfast accomadations weren't up to what they had listed. But other than that they kept it good.
