The hotel was clean, the staff were not overly pleasant- just doing their job. The pool was clean.
Pros:

Although it is "claimed" that the hotel has hot breakfast, all of the breakfast has been adulterated or was of poor quality.
The eggs had other substances including milk, the sausage had bones, the breads... full of unnecessary ingredients.
In today's time, clients are better educated about food/health and look for healthy foods. (we are all sensitive to milk)

We had to eat out, or our own food.

Great stay-will definitely come here again!
Pros:

The location was great for our trip to Newport Aquarium. TIP-if you have AAA, buy tickets for the Aquarium online on their app. SO MUCH cheaper!

Cons:

No issues with the property-we stayed in the King Suite with the extra room and it was BIG. Front desk was great, answered a few of my questions about shopping, and gave us extra blankets and towels. It is very clean there! Only issue-Easter breakfast wasn’t as good as the day before, gravy had no flavor, but that is a minor issue. Great stay!

Other than missing bedding, everything was fine.
Pros:

Breakfast was good and bed was comfortable

Cons:

If you are providing a sofa bed, you should have sheets/blankets and pillows in the room to be used. I had to go downstairs and get my bedding when I was already ready to go to bed. Didn't open the sofa bed until ready to get in it. This was quite inconvenient and when asked if they would bring it up to me, they said said but it may take awhile.

Good value and location for short stay. Friendly stuff with a good breakfast
Pros:

Good breakfast with a nice variety. The staff was friendly. Our room was clean and the bed was comfortable.
The parking lot was big enough and convenient.

Cons:

The gym is a bit small and limited. It could also use a bit cleaning. The ceiling tiles can use some love.
