Overnight trip for football game
1 of our rooms wasn’t ready until after 5pm because of a football team late check out. Also factored in was our request for connecting rooms. It all worked out in the end. Overall, we enjoyed the stay and would stay there again.

Great hotel but it was very busy, lots of young kids running up and down halls until 11:00 pm. TV had limited number of channels and we had one drawer full of trash when we checked in. Must have been a full hotel,as it is always a great place to stay. Will stay here again

Nice location, big room , layout of hotel made it wasy to find room . The tub/shower was kind of beat up for a hotel in this price range. There was a large kid birthday party at the pool which shouldnt happen. Paying guests as myself didnt get to swim because of the party. Im sure few of the people at the party were paid guests. The pool was part of the reason why I booked here.
