Feels like luxury!
Pros:

Very clean rooms and overall hotel. Staff is professional. Check-in process is quick and easy. Bed is comfortable and the sheets are soft. Even the hallway smells great. I've been in hotels where they didn't.

Cons:

No bottled water in the rooms. Must bring your own or use the vending machines at the bottom of the stairs. Still using the tiny soaps and shampoos in 2026. No elevator. Not enough towels in the rooms for the amount of guests. I had to request additional towels which delayed our showers.

Pros:

Everything!! Breakfast was delicious, the girl at the omelet station, the girl that checked us in & all the other workers were so sweet. Beds were so comfy too!!! Very great value.

Cons:

I just wish there was a bathroom closer to the pool. Everything else went beyond expectations.

All in all, it's livable.
Pros:

The breakfast was magnificent. There was a lovely lounge area for relaxing, complete with a bar and a fireplace. There are many restaurants and a Walmart nearby.

Cons:

The rooms were clean, but many things were broken. For instance, a fire alarm was dangling from the ceiling, the window curtain was torn and would only open halfway, and the backrest of the office chair was broken.

Pros:

It has an awesome atrium lobby. We got a room on the second floor looking into the atrium which was cool. The room was clean, sheets clean. Ac and heat worked well. Nice big tv was great.

Cons:

It was a bit older. We weren't told there was no elevator and were searching for it for a while until we went back to the desk to ask where it was. So we just had to carry everything up the stairs. The webpage says breakfast until 10 on Monday but when we went down at 930 they said it ended at 9. They might have went over that at check-in and I missed it. The window looking into the lobby from our room was pretty dirty and the ledge just outside was caked with dust. Our actual room was clean and the sheets were very clean.

Pros:

Boa localização, bom café da manhã e quarto tinha um espaço bom

Cons:

Regras de check-in, se voce chegar 5min antes das 16h, eles te falam que para entrar custard 20dol, um absurdo. Apesar do café da manhã ser bom, é mais marketing do que real. Wifi no quarto nao funciona, e a academia é só para falar que tem, bem ruinzinha.
