This is a very nice facility. Opened in August of 2025, it was only six months old at the time of my stay so it is, and still looked, new and spotless. Would definitely stay here again.

Looked like a complete brand new hotel. The staff was courteous and professional at all times. The breakfast didn’t have many choices, but I’d say it is way better than any other hotel I’ve stayed at. 10/10.

I like the remodel. The room was nice. I was disappointed in the breakfast compared to years past and would rate even the continental breakfast as less than average.
