Just What We Needed
Pros:

The location was very convenient. We asked for a room close to the pet area and got one. We travel with our bird and dog and because we can't leave them in the room alone, what we really liked was having a restaurant nearby so it was easy to get dinner. And the food was great- very unexpected. The facility was clean, noise level moderate. Breakfast was good with adequate choices.

Water here tastes terrible. Ask for 2nd floor so you don’t need elevator.
Pros:

Very nice rooms & friendly staff. But: these were the things we had trouble with:

Kind of a maze to get around this hotel. I was with an elderly parent whom could not do steps well and the ONE elevator was slow and had lots of problems. We had to take steps and it was so hard.

Water at this hotel tastes terrible. They did have “infused” water when you entered but that tasted of old fruit. With this kind of water taste they should provide a water bottle(s) per room or put in those filtered water bottle fillers drinking fountains. A staff member did tell me to try the fitness center because it had filtered water but that machine wasn’t working.

It wasn’t bad.
Pros:

Easy to get to. Comfortable beds.

Cons:

There was only a desk chair in the room. The shades didn’t take care of the blinding parking lot lights. My room was full of light at 3 in the morning

Disappointed
Pros:

Not much?

Cons:

No breakfast! For this price? Are you kidding me? Bed was unconformable, pillows sucked but they normally do everywhere.
