Pros:

The hotel was clean , the pool was AWESOME! The Staff was friendly room was spacious loved the walk in Shower

Cons:

The bed was really uncomfortable,didn't sleep well. The Continental Breakfast was ok I went out around 7:50 am and the buffet was about empty. I was able to make one breakfast sandwich with meat and the other without because the sausage patties were gone. I did ask if they were gonna make more and they offered but I didn't want to be a bother but if u have a Continental Breakfast posted till 9 am it should have everything till 9 am
