The hotel was a good place but nothing write home about. Breakfast was $10.00 for a buffett that was comparable to others that are typically included in the room rate but not here. The thing I did not like was the air conditioning. When it came on, it made so much noise I could not hear the television and had to increase the volume. It also made this noise during the night as it came on several times waking up my wife.

Room cleaning seemed very rushed—food in the kitchenette sink, hairs around the bathroom sink, lightbulbs burnt out.

Highly Recommend
We were here for a 2 night stay for an OM competition. This location is fairly new and is only about a 10 minute drive from the school and their main area where all of the restaurants are. I would stay here again if I am ever back in the area. I reserved an evolution room and didn't realize that is was a handicapped accessible room but it was spacious and I didn't mind. Friendly service from the front desk work and maintenance crew. The hotel was clean. My only issue was the fact that I could tell the floor in our room hadn't been vacuumed. All in all, it was a pleasant stay at a reasonable rate.

I had a very negative experience. The fridge in the room was moldy and not working. The next room we were moved to did not have a working AC control panel. It was an adjoining room and we couldn't sleep because of the noise coming from the other room. Overall, I don't see myself returning.
