It was a nice hotel. Don’t be afraid to say here.
This is a decent hotel. It had a few issues I think that they could focus on the building maintenance a little bit better. We can definitely see that there was water damage in the bathroom at some point and this is the third floor. But overall the hotel was clean. The temperature was nice in the room. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was good. I would say this is a very well run hotel.

My only complaint is that we have 4 people in a room and they only gave us 3 towels and wash clothes, so every bight we had to ask for an extra one. Very friendly staff, hotel was clean, breakfast was good.

The front desk representative was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating, setting the tone for a great stay. I booked online but was disappointed to find my double queen reservation didn't include a suite. However, the agent made a kind exception and upgraded us to a suite. Our room was clean, comfortable, and spacious, and we enjoyed the spa area and breakfast. I'll definitely return for our next staycation.

Our stay was great. The hotel is surrounded by many different food places. Bowling alley right next door. A Walmart 3 minutes away. It is located in a very convenient area for all your needs. The breakfast was good different options and was constantly being changed out for fresher food. When it came to check out day that's where the only issue we had came into play. My partner had left the room with a key to go grab a luggage cart an upon returning to the room the key wasn't working. My partner left out the room at 11am check out was at 12noon luckily I was still in the room otherwise we would've been out of luck and had to go back down stairs to gain access. If check out is at 12noon the key card should stay active til 12. If it isn't they should let people know at check-in so people know.

Various parts of building in need of repair, dirty windows, hallway walls and elevators. Hot tub smelled strange and was cloudy. Gum on floor around pool. Our room was not very clean. Coffee table had food and sticky spots. Cobwebs and hair in bathroom. Boogers wiped on walls. The fold out couch bed was absolute garbage, no one was able to sleep on it. Hole in comforter. There was dirt/sand in bed. Room was nice size, beds comfy, breakfast was decent. It was nice we could watch navy graduation in the dining room area. We were told by lady at the front desk that check out time was noon. Went to our room to get our things at 10:25am and our key cards no longer worked. Housekeeping was nice enough to let us in, and told us rooms are locked afted 10:30.
