Do not recommend
Bed sheets had holes in them from cigarettes, and sheets were not as clean as they should be as there was some dirt and also hairs on the pillows. Toilet did not flush great and shower did not look clean. The hallways smelt like weed. Breakfast was not great at all.

Best birthday weekend!
It was my birthday weekend and I had an incredible time here! The guy at the front desk was so welcoming and kind. Breakfast was delicious! best coffee i’ve ever had! The room was so clean and comfortable. My friends and I enjoyed the gym and pool as well! I will definitely be staying at this hotel again in the future!

Great Stay!
We stayed here 2 nights for our Six Flags getaway! The hotel is updated, clean, and all staff was friendly. The breakfast was delicate and we enjoyed how some of the options changed so it wasn't the same each day.

Only disappointed me the cleaning room.
The weather was perfect. I traveled with my mom and sister for my daughter graduation of the Navy boot camp and the experience was amazing. I will stay there again but this time for vacation.

My stay was great. The staff were very friendly. The food buffet was delicious. My room was clean except for two things. There was hair in the bathtub and stains on the toilet set.
