I really like this hotel and I’ve stayed here every time I come back to my hometown. But I can tell that the attention to cleanliness and upkeep is severely beginning to lack. Please don’t turn into the old Holiday Inn/Ramada. Breakfast is fantastic and staff is kind enough…but I can tell that they don’t care much about the guests.

When I walked in, the front desk staff was very welcoming! The hotel was super clean, and so was our room. And the bed was super comfortable! The complimentary breakfast was so good, and the variety was incredible. My overall stay was amazing. I’ll definitely be staying here again and recommending this hotel to my friends and family!
