Great stay from start to finish! We had a great stay and an easy, smooth check-in. This hotel in Danville is beautiful, clean, and welcoming from the moment you arrive. Every area from the outside of the building, to the lobby, to the rooms — was spotless and well cared for. This is our 3rd time staying!! Breakfast was excellent with tons of options: eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, waffles, and plenty of other choices, including gluten-free options, which was a big plus for the wife!! The staff truly makes the difference!! smiles every time you walk by! You really feel at home and known here. We had a great time and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend!

The pool was great,we really appreciate them opening the pool so we could relax on a very hot day. We will be back in November and looking forward to seeing everyone again

Stayed here due to emergency repairs at our home. The staff was very helpful and professional... from the lady that checked us in to the gentleman that maintained the breakfast. The room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Showers had excellent water pressure and an abundance of hot water. Slept comfortably and didn't hear any noises in the hallway or outside. Complimentary breakfast was fresh, had a variety of both hot and cold items, and was well stocked. (Kids enjoyed the waffle station!) I would happily recommend this hotel.

the location was good i did not have the same experience as the other reviews. my room was clean it was what i expected from the chain. this isn’t considered a 5 star hotel. you get what you pay for… that being said the room was fine and the woman at the front desk was awsome and extremely helpful and polite. my only quarrel is the TV’s are outdated. i’d urge leadership to consider updating to smart TV’s with remote if it’s in the budget it’ll allow guest to watch netflix etc and for folks with kids they can watch disney and keep the kids occupied
