I’d stay there again!
Pros:

The dining room was well thought out. Landscape folks were there ensuring property was neat. I felt safe. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

It needs some attention. Elevator exterior wall, because it is glass, needed a major refresh. The exterior patio needed some stones replaced. The room had a slight odor. Replacing the carpet would probably take care of that.

Overated, overpriced, and underwhelming
Pros:

Location was good. Enjoyable restaurants close by. Friendly staff

Cons:

Room smelled strongly of disinfectant and cleaning products, though there was a damp smell that came through anyway. Noise carried over from the hall and adjacent rooms. Their highly rated breakfast bar was mostly carbs, some granular eggs and warmed up sausage patties with hard edges. They had oranges.

Nothing! It was perfect for our needs.

It was adequate, but paying $220 one would expect a very clean, nice, quiet hotel.
Pros:

The room was fine except I was facing the highway so I could nevr get the room fully darkened

Cons:

Breakfast was not appetizing at all. I guess I could have had a plain bagel. i chose to go out to eat
Furniture in lobby was filthy dirty. Arms of light blue chairs were black!
