We have stayed here many times, with the last time being prior to their latest remodeling. The rooms are very nice, comfortable, and quiet. Despite being located right next to the elevator we were not bothered by any noise and had a good night's rest. There were a few little "nits" that I will mention: The in-room refrigerator did not have a freezer compartment. We always travel with a small cooler and it's nice to be able to re-freeze our bag of ice but that's not a big issue as we can always refill from the motel's ice machine. The coffee was bitter. They have switched from the old air pots to a brew on demand machine. My key card stopped working on the morning that we were to check out. I've had this happen too often in too many places, not just here. It appears to be a problem with the programming of the expiration time of the cards, as I am always careful not to do anything that would scramble the magnetic strip, and it always happens on the morning prior to checkout. It's always an inconvenience to come back to the room early in the morning with a couple of cups of coffee and my wife still in bed, and I can't get in. All the staff that I interacted with during our stay were very friendly, polite, and helpful.

I thought the staff and room were wonderful! My room was clean, the bed was phenomenal, loved all the pillows. The room is definitely newer! There was salt on the floors but to be expected, it's Winter. The pool is down for maintenance but no big deal because we didn't come here for that. Only downside, I wish they had Mountain Dew. Really enjoyed my experience here. Thank you.

Thank you so much for the clean room and comfy bed. I forgot my smartwatch there and the AM front desk guy Tammy I think, found it! He held onto it for me until I could make it back. They were super friendly and accommodating. I had no issues with noise and was even able to schedule a late checkout. The wifi was fast and reliable to get my schoolwork done. Thank you again to the awesome staff!
