Recommended Trip type: All Others "Great room, would stay again"

Reviewed by Jennifer of knoxville on Dec 4, 2009

I got a king non-smoking room. I did not use the jacuzzi tub, but enjoyed the large shower. I was not impressed with the lack of water pressure- but that is typical of hotels. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the fridge was cold (perfect for drinks, too cold for food - my broccoli was nearly frozen). The wireless worked very well. The staff was friendly and helpful.

staff had booked us in a smoking room but corrected, blaming on hotels.com and also placed us in a room without WIFI even though we had asked about availability of WIFI. Other staff were quick to correct and give us another room. Bed was comfortable. Continental breakfast was adequate. Staff were pleasant.

Reviewed by Kathy of Long Island, NY on Jan 28, 2008

This was a basic hotel room, clean bathroom, clean sheets. The "breakfast" was cold coffee, hard donuts, cold cereal, and a toaster to toast bread. The breakfast was served next to the check-in desk. You had to leave the building where the bedrooms were and walk a few yards to the main building for this breakfast, so very inconvenient for an elderly or disabled person.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jul 17, 2007

The beds were very uncomfortable and the room was either too cold or too hot. When my son took a shower, it took 15 minutes for the bathroom steam to wear off. There is no direction connection from the lobby to the hotel rooms and if you needed something you had to go out and around.

Just a normal hotel, no frills. But if you just need a room to sleep in it is a great deal for the money. Rooms are clean, could use a bit of a facelift though. Quiet and has pool for use with grass for the kids to play on. Service and Reception were great, complimentary continental breakfast included.
