    comfortable atmosphere

    great access to nearby parks and attractions for city strolls

    I always enjoy my stays here due to the comfortable atmosphere and kind staff. It's close to amazing outdoors, like the nearby Tipton Park which is just a 500-meter walk away, perfect for a relaxing stroll through nature after a day of exploring the city's landmarks.

    Very friendly and overall clean place. And the pool was pretty nice.

    Paid 147$ for no central air-3 stars and no central air????? Either freezing all night or burning up Bc it was a wall unit that had to be on or off. So didn't sleep much. Had to keep getting up to switch air to fan. Was decent but not for the cost.

    inconsistent wi-fi
    aging facilities
    limited breakfast variety

    Staff friendliness stood out. The indoor pool and hot tub were pristine, offering a good way to unwind. I encountered inconsistent Wi-Fi, frustrating at times. Some areas of the hotel seemed to show signs of age, particularly in the bathrooms. Though parking was convenient, I wish the breakfast had provided more variety for different tastes.

    Beds were comfortable, breakfast included was extremely convenient for my purpose of staying here. Staff at front desk, and dining area was wonderful, friendly, attentive which is very appreciated.

    I think they could do a double check on the floor around the beds to make sure it is clean, as well as the bathroom floor/ under the counter too. Very minor but an observation. So not a big dislike

    It's right next to Walmart and many restaurants. Beds were comfortable.

    We got to the hotel after 9 pm. The person at reception was not very nice, I don´t know why.

    aging facilities

    The hotel features a sizable indoor pool and hot tub, which create a fun atmosphere for relaxation after a long day. I appreciated the clean rooms. The larger size of the accommodations also made it easy to unwind and get comfortable.

    Unfortunately, the facilities felt a bit outdated, especially in the bathrooms where some fixtures showed noticeable signs of wear. I experienced some inconveniences with inconsistent Wi-Fi performance. Lastly, I found certain areas within the hotel had unpleasant odors, detracting from the overall comfort.

    I liked the cinnamon rolls and the coffee. I had plenty of towels. I liked the free samples of the lotion, shampoo and the condioners. The bed was comfortable. Staff was nice.

    The swimming pool was out of order.

    Fantastic Stay with Really good Breakfast!

    The hotel's grand entrance impressed me. I loved the breakfast with pancakes and cinnamon rolls-delicious and filling. The friendly staff made check-in easy. Pro tip, try the nearby Panera for a quick bite after your stay!
