Disliked: Cleanliness
The reception was excellent and provided great customer service; however, the room I received had a used towel and a bit of trash under the bed. Reception changed my room. No problem. The second room had the same issue. A used butter knife under the bed and dried food underneath the couch. This made me inclined to believe that housekeeping isn’t cleaning these rooms properly and that’s worrisome. Solid 3 stars.

The bathroom was not clean and there was hair on the floor, the carpet wasn’t vacuumed as evident if skittles and dried raw meat and small rocks on the floor. The curtains didn’t close the whole way and there was a gap where the night light came on for the 5 nights we were there

Best experience we have had in a long time!

Loved how friendly everyone was. We took our dog and they were so kind to her at the office they gave her treats. The breakfast was elite compared to other hotels. Lots of options. Loved the kitchen and sitting area made it feel like home. I will be back over the Summer so I can enjoy the pool.

The property is in a good spot because of its proximity to Walmart and other restaurants. If you are there for a Navy graduation, the base is less than a 15-minute drive (if you are going to the graduation, make sure you get there before 7 a.m., or you will not have the best seats). The front desk and breakfast are awesome.
