Our family booked the hotel after they showed updated photos online. Our room was rust colored and velour bedding. The sink sprayed everywhere when you turned it on and the tub faucet leaked. The pack n play cribs they brought (we have twins) were so filthy with unknown brown and green crusty stuff that our children had to sleep in... More

Thank you for taking the time and telling us about your stay. I am utterly embarrassed about the condition you found our hotel in. Your review will be the first topic of discussion at our weekly managers meeting. We will get these problems taken care of. Thanks again for the feedback and I hope you have a great summer. More

We had a one night stay in a family suite. It was graduation weekend for the local university, so the hotel was obviously very busy. I mention this only because I feel like I am giving the hotel and staff somewhat of a break because of this fact. Check in was a little rocky. We arrived earlier than expected, but... More

Thank you for taking the time and filling out the review. I do apologize for the wait to get into your room. With it being a busy weekend we ended up being stretched a little thiner than we wanted to. I did talk with our maintenance engineer about the pool and we did have a filter problem over that weekend.... More

My wife and I stayed here March 22, 2012 and were very comfortable. The lobby is well decorated, and our room was large and clean. The bathroom has lots of counter space which is handy for things like putting on make-up. Front desk people were friendly and efficient. The only downside was the entry from the parking lot (door 3)... More

Pros: When we arrived the front desk manager was extremely kind and helpful.He seemed genuinely concerned that our stay was a good one. The facility was clean (mostly) and the room was comfortable. Cons: The pool was closed, but I do understand that it was for maintenence... More

Thank you for taking the time and filling out the response. We did call the exterminator on the ants, doesn't seem right in January. I do apologize for the maintenance on the pool, your right in saying it has to be done, unfortunatly there is never a good time. We will get the maintenance man not knocking taken care of.... More

We stopped late at night for a one-night stay - received a terrific price on the room with a call directly to the front desk and a free upgrade to a room with a jacuzzi tub. There is no free breakfast buffet, but a restaurant in the hotel with a good local reputation. We slept in and didn't eat at... More

We stayed at this hotel while on a vacation in Aberdeen. We were in one of their mini suites, since our family is too big for a regular size room. The room itself was pretty nice. The beds were comfortable and we had a lot of space. The pool is very kid friendly. It has a lot of fun stuff... More
