Pros:

The staff was super friendly! The location is also great and there are a lot of Door Dash options if you don’t want to use the restaurant (though my kids and I enjoyed the breakfast buffet)

Brief but I wouldn’t stay again
Pros:

Location was good for me and what I needed . Bed was comfortable

Cons:

Facilities are dated. My room smelled horrible requiring me to buy air freshener. Parking costing $18 a car per night is silly when it’s not even in a garage. The front desk saw myself and partner and only gave one room key.
