Pros:

Check in was a easy. The room was clean. The maid for my room was exceptional.

Cons:

Originally there was to be 3 people in my room. So, I got the rate that covered breakfast. Then the property sent me a message letting me know that the breakfast included was for only 2 people. Very disappointing because of i am starting that there will be 3 people in the room, 3 people should be able eat. Needless to say I canceled that booking and did another without the breakfast option. Breakfast was 38.01 per person. We did not breakfast at the hotel.

Great everything but cleanliness couldve been better
Pros:

Loved how the gym was open 24 hours! mots hotels usually dont have that. Check in and check out was extremely easy. Took about 5 mins each to get done. Parking was very easy as well

Cons:

The Quality of the bed sheets couldve been better and the carpet was dirty when we first arrived
