It was decent place to lay your head down. The room is awkward positioned and little small. The pool looked cloudy, but pretty, never got the chance to use it.
There for a concert, easy access to and from, wish it had shuttle service.

Nope
I reserved 3 rooms for me and my coworkers. All 3 rooms were dirty. One had a broken shower curtain and one had bugs on the desk in the morning. We only stayed the one night and cancelled the remaining rooms. The staff seemed to be new. The general manager was very nice.

I like the fact that the hotel was located near the interstate. I did not like the fact that my room was located near the lobby and so I could hear people talking in the hallways and walking around while I am trying to sleep.

Everything was great from checkin to checkout. We only stayed one night but if we are ever in the area again we would most definitely stay here. The front desk manager was very accommodating which made the experience even better. An added perk was the shampoo, conditioner, soap and lotion were all Dove which was amazing we have never stayed anywhere that had Dove. 5 out of 5 stars. Overall great experience here.

Everything was great except water pressure was low and shower didn't get too hot (luke warm). Other than that I enjoyed my stay.
