• Person who checked us in was Extremely friendly and personable.
• Felt a little "busy" - see below.

“The hotel was a little "busy" for our family, having more of a business traveler feel. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. Our view left something to be desired, however. Lots of eating options nearby. A good location, but our kids like to use the exercise room; we didn't feel comfortable letting them use the equipment (treadmills) because enough adults were coming and going and we thought they might get annoyed a 9-year old was using some of the equipment.”

• The workout facilities were excellent and the location is perfect.
• The birds in the trees in the parking lot made a mess of the car. Will not park next to a tree next time.

“I strongly recommend this facility to any and all travelers.”

• Convenient and clean.
• The room I had was next to the laundry room or something noises all night long plus no refrigerate in room also the pop machine down the hall way had.

“It was good they should have refrigerates in all rooms. If your not going to have them then have bottled water in pop machines.”

• The room was one of the most comfortable for a business traveler that I have ever stayed in.
• The elevators were very slow.

“The hotel was ideally located, easy to get to with plenty of eating choices nearby. The facilities were clean and comfortable, plenty of desk space in the room, good lighting, and steady internet access. The staff was accommodating, allowing late check out without hesitation. Great stay!”

• Wonderful beds and pillows. Quiet.
• Internet was slow and inconsistent. No free breakfast.

“I was upgraded to the Hilton which is a three star property. I would prefer a 2.5 star property that has better wireless internet and free breakfast. The hotel was very clean and the room was comfortable. Nice flat screen TV. Also, the front desk refused to rent me a roll-away bed because they claimed you could only have three occupants in a room if there was one bed in it. Overall, everything worked out fine.”

• Price for the room.

“I was not impressed very much, the only good thing was the breakfast, hallways were unattractive dark colors, rooms were ok and I was glad they did not match up with the ugly hallways, however, the water temperature dials in the shower were reverse, the cold was really hot and hot was really cold, this was discovered after an engineer had to come to my room at 11:30 pm to check it out.”

• The room was beautiful. Did not have the standard "hotel" feel. Enjoyed the little extras that were complimentary.
• Noise from the hallway was not well insulated.

“Would stay here again if the price was in our price point. The room was spacious and attractively decorated. The hotel was convenient to shopping, restaurants and a walking path. I would definitely recommend it to others.”

• Walking distant to shops, restaurants, and man-made lake with walking trails; saved gas by exploring and enjoying the nearby bonus hotel amenities.
• None.

“This hotel has great bonus amenities nearby. We were able to save some gas by spending time on the boardwalk; walking around the lake, paddle boat ride and local restaurants and bars. Only thing we could find wrong with the hotel was the fact that that weekend there was a family reunion and two wedding ceremonies. In other words the hotel was busy.”

“This hotel is conveniently located just off I-85. The decor is modern and upscale - what you would expect from a newer Hilton. The room had a flat panel TV and was comfortable and well decorated. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful; they quickly gave me a new room when the first one was a king (instead of 2 doubles).”

• Automatically placed in smoking room - did not offer option.

“They automatically placed me in a smoking room. I was very tired and nose stuffed up with allergies at the time of check in. By the time (15 minutes) that I realized the room was smoking, I had already undressed and partially unpacked. Front desk staff should have asked what time of room I preferred?”

• Centrally located to the restaurants and shopping mall.
• If parking is full, expect to walk a distance unless you want to pay valet parking.

“I originally wanted a hotel close to the airport, but this is really not far, 15-20 min drive. Did not get a chance to try the outdoor pool but the it appears to be quite big. The hotel is located at the restaurant and shopping mall so you can easily walk to the shops and stores. Beds are very comfortable, big flat panel LCD TV, bathroom seems to be newly renovated with latest vanity style, curved shower rod, lighted make-up mirror. Definitely a 3 or higher star accommodation.”

• The Staff.
• Nothing comes to mind.

“The accommodations were good. Response to a couple of problems were prompt and satisfactory. Ease of check-in and check-out. The "double bed" room was a little cramped. Overall the Driveway Entrance, Lobby and Meeting Rooms were what I expect from a three star hotel. More importantly - the quality of the Staff is indicative of a 4 or 5 star hotel. They were professional, capable, kind, helpful and cheerful! I would gladly recommend this hotel.”

“It was a cute hotel in a good location for shopping or eating. The boardwalk is right outside the back door of the hotel. I saw people doing sports activities on the lake, in addition to walking along the boardwalk. The room was extra cute with a good view. I loved the clock radio. I could get clear stations in a section. Would definitely recommend this hotel.”

• The room was very comfortable.
• There was no refrigerator or microwave in the room.

“Overall, my stay here was very good. The room was comfortable (the bed was absolutely wonderful) and well decorated (including the bathroom). The hotel had free wireless internet that worked without a hitch and there were beautiful flat panel TV's in the room. One thing I noticed about the TV's is that it had every type of input you would ever need. This is great if you are bringing kids who must bring their video game system with them or if you are there for a long stay and want some extra in room entertainment. The only downsides to the hotel is the lack of a refrigerator/microwave. Also, the vent in my bathroom was not working, but I was able to deal with a foggy mirror. Everything else was excellent. I would definitely stay here again.”
