Staff was amazing but the property is lacking.
Pros:

Pool was not safe to use, algae bloom, and very cloudy

Cons:

Door seals were very bad letting in light and noise. Bathroom finish on wall was in need of repair. Bed blanket was Staind, heater was unusable due to dust burning off during an attempt to utilize. AC fan only worked on low.

over all it did it's job we used the room to sleep but really recommend upgrades.
Pros:

Breakfast was not good. No choices available like orange juice was out. Coffee was out. Tried calling customer service Noone came to refill. No food choices only loaf of bread and was able to make 2 waffles and it ran out too. We had booked 3 rooms for family and one room the Ac was not working they had to move to another hotel. Took a long time to get our keys cause system was not working.

Cons:

Breakfast choices
Parking
Pool was closed
Rooms need upgrades

Good value, good location, friendly staff. Possible issue with getting a non-smoking ground floor room.
Pros:

Great location. Friendly staff. Parking was easy and right near the room. The room was large. Beds were fine. The A/C worked fine.
Good value but be sure you call and check to see if you are really getting a non-smoking ground level room for a disabled person, if you need one.
I was told there were no ground floor non-smoking rooms.
In fact I’d call to be sure you can get a non-smoking room!

Cons:

I am disabled and I chose a non-smoking, ground floor disability room when I made the reservation and paid for the room. When we got to the hotel, there was only one room on the ground floor available - we were told there were no ground floor non-smoking rooms. So it was a smoking room and smelled really bad. It was not a disability room and I couldn’t get into the slippery shower. That was a problem.

The bedding was clean. We turned the A/C on high, plugged in fans we had brought and aired everything out for an hour before we laid down. It was bearable.
The free breakfast was strange. You couldn’t pick what you wanted - very limited items that you point at and they are handed to you…and the boxed cereal was EXTRA! I’d say forget the ‘free’ breakfast and go to a nearby McDonald’s.

Pros:

room was small but clean, staff was friendly and helpful. hotel close to restaurant with good food.

Cons:

Was little disappointed coffee in room for 2 people only offered 1 regular coffee and 1 decaf... so we had to go to the office to get coffee. Parking spaces too small for anyone not in a compact vehicle.
