Great spot for people with littles!

Clean room- although it could use some updating but just happy it was clean! Staff was amazing upon check in and out. Pool area was wonderful especially with littles! My only complaint was the pool had too much chemicals in it i think? It made our eyes burnt maybe we are just sensitive!! Overall a great stay and we will be back.
Shelbi, 1-night trip

Property is very clean and the parking lot security was exceptional. The beds are way high and difficult to get in to.

On the road going to Montana

Was passing through on a roadtrip to Montana and to see family in Columbus. Very nice hotel, room was more spacious than I saw in the photos. Excellent breakfast with plenty of choices. The only downside was the AC in the room didn’t cool down as much. Everything else was top notch.

Kevyn, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at this hotel for one night on our way home from Nashville spacious room. We had the one with multiple beds. The beds were unbelievably comfortable very clean. Breakfast had many good selections and the woman who was taking care of the dining area area. Worked her butt off, keeping it clean and well stocked we went to the pool, which was nice and good for young children. My only complaint was the hot tub had been closed off and no longer there but the pool itself was nice and quite large. I would definitely stay here again.

Just stayed one night and chose this hotel specifically for the pool for my 4 year old granddaughter. We had an absolute blast! Hotel and staff were very nice and we loved the pool.
Ella, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only issue I had was that my room had a water leak in it from the a/c and instead of vacuuming up the water, they just put some 1x1 floor pieces over it but my room still had that dank smell of standing water. The staff and everything else was great.
