Not staying again.
Pros:

The pool was in the middle of the hotel.

Cons:

The staff was rude and miscommunicated. They told us we were suppose to have breakfast vouchers which we paid for. They only gave us 3 for a family of 4 when we brought it up the front desk lady argued with us and had an attitude. We had to continue to ask for information about the hotel. We asked if there was a bathroom we could use near the pool the desk clerk the night before told us it was behind the hot tub and the hot tub was closed and the doors for the bathroom were locked and had a closed sign. Overall terrible experience.

Be wary of the HVAC system keeping the room comfortable. Staff were friendly and the hotel is clean.
Pros:

Staff were kind and respectful. The location was ideal for our route. The breakfast was outstanding, and the kitchen area exceeded our expectations with food quality and cleanliness.

Cons:

The HVAC system was having issues. It would shut down and restart twice every minute, making noise as it did so. The room hovered around 80 degrees during our stay. The front desk staff was notified about the concern.

comfortable
Pros:

The facility was nice and clean and staff were very welcoming.

Cons:

It would have been nice to have breakfast included with the price of our room. I was under the impression and thought I had read on the booking.com website that breakfast was included so I was a little disappointed when I learned that it was not.

We would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

It was centrally located to everything we needed to do.

Cons:

The pet policy is $30 A DAY/PER DOG! This seems a bit excessive & is almost the same rate as the room itself for two dogs! The “restaurant/bar” was only open for breakfast and dinner. During one of our days we were stuck at the hotel all day & had to DoorDash for lunch as the restaurant was closed. This was just a minor inconvenience, but it would have been nice to have had that option.

Refreshed hotel, comfortable stay
Pros:

It scared me when I walked in the lobby thinking it looked very dated. But the room was remodeled and new bathroom. It was very clean and comfortable

Cons:

A little confusing with all the hallways. Kids were screaming until all hours in the dome/pool area
