"Love the location and quietness. Lots of walking path around the hotel ground. "

"Great hotel, very nicely renovated lobby and good breakfast. Beds were comfortable. Pool was small but nice with a hot tub! My only complaint was that the hallways were Freezing cold."

"Great Location "

"Owner was so personable and attentive. Rooms were comfortable and clean!"

"Friendly staff, Clean and roomy breakfast area. The only negative might be interpreted as nitpicky, as I like to work out early in the morning and the fitness center doesn’t open till seven. However, the person at the service desk allowed me in without issue."

"It was fine"

"Visit campus relaxation trips "

"First time staying at a Grand Stay property and we were impressed. The property appears to have been recently renovated and our single queen room/suite was very nice. Having a bedroom (with a door that closes) separate from a sitting area w/ sleeper sofa TV and kitchenette (w/ full size refrigerator, mini- stove, microwave, and dishwasher) is very nice. The bathroom was roomy, the tub/shower had very good water pressure, and the HVAC worked well. The only (minor) complaint would be that the bed comfort was merely average and a little firm. Other minor issues- the weekend breakfast ends at 9AM- a bit too soon for most and a bit soon compared to other hotels. The breakfast was standard and compares to other non-budget hotels (but no fruit was found- maybe we arrived to close to the 9am cut off); the ONLY ice machine we could locate was on first floor at one end meaning if you get a room on 3rd floor opposite end it's a bit of a trek to get some ice. The pool was nice if not a bit small, and the hot tub again nice but with a capacity of 6 also a bit small. There was a noticeable amount of sand in the hot tub, and the pool and hot tub smelled very strongly of chemical/chlorine. Given that our room rate was well under $100 I would definitely stay here again, but room rates vary widely based on demand and we must have found a slow weekend."

"Very clean, very nice, friendly and helpful staff."
