We came to town for a hockey tournament. The rooms and pool area are very nice. It would nice to have a restaurant closer the hotel. The prices are on the very expensive side for the weekend
The room we stayed in was beautiful and clean. The breakfast was really good. We definitely overpaid for the weekend. The front desk manager was a little rude.There were kids that were really noisy all weekend. There were a couple of them that knocked on our door. It was hard to relax.
Me and my parents stayed the night on July 4th and let me just say the entire hotel was super clean, the room was super spacious, the bathroom was clean with plenty of towels, the bed… the BED I just melted into it because it was super comfortable, the breakfast was AMAZING! I left a note for the housekeeping (my stepdad gave them a tip separately) this hotel was amazing !! If I am ever in the area again I will definitely stay here!
I love this hotel. Stay every year on our way to Canada for our fishing trip!! The front desk person was excellent! Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable...
Clean, comfortable, spacious. Stayed with kids and had plenty of room. Great continental breakfast. Pool was fun for kids. Had a well stocked snack shop and fresh lemon water available in lobby. Right near Walmart for other essentials. Can’t find better value for the price.
Wonderful staff ! Polite and made great recommendations for diner. They were able to change my room from two queens to a king. Room was very clean. This was so great! Hot tub was a great way to relax. Breakfast was well stocked and tables clean. I will stay here again!! STAFF IS OUTSTANDING
Typical hotel. Nice people. Free breakfast was fine. Quiet, even though there was a hockey tournament going on for middle school boys. The room was fine, the sink had a small crack in it, which didn't really matter. Clean and neat, so all around good experience. The bed was nice, soft, yet firm. Ability to adjust the room temperature. No complaints. We would stay there again.
We recently stayed at the Comfort Inn over MEA weekend and had a wonderful experience. The hotel is new, clean, and has a large gathering area that’s perfect for families. The complimentary breakfast was impressive — with plenty of options like fresh eggs, biscuits, waffles, juices, and even alternative milk choices. Such great value these days! Our room was spotless and well-equipped with everything we needed, including a fridge and a large flat-screen TV. The staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating — every interaction was positive. We’d definitely stay here again!
