Pros:

The staff after my check in was very nice and helpful and the cleaning staff amazing people

Cons:

When I first got there the lady had a bit of an attitude saying that they can’t see the reservation as a king bed due to booking only showing them standard and she said to show her and I did but she said that I have to call next time to make sure but I never had a problem in the past 5 times staying there.

excellent
Pros:

The eggs were genuinely good not rubbery. Also loved the options and overall versatility of the breakfast.

Cons:

Would have preferred another meat protein option besides turkey sausage patties, like bacon

Good long weekend trip at a clean hotel
Pros:

The room was clean and the staff were very kind. Breakfast had hot foods as well as cereal and yogurt options. Parking was free and the location was near a freeway for our trip.

Cons:

The keycards were a bit finicky. I brought my own reusable water bottle but the water fountain in the hall was grimy and the water in the gym was empty for half my stay.

It was okay.
Pros:

The breakfast

Cons:

That we had to ask multiple times for amenities. And every time we spoke to staff at the front desk it seemed like we were inconveniencing them.

It's a clean and comfortable hotel with free parking.
Pros:

We like the complimentary breakfast, free parking and nicely equipped gym. The layout of the room are well designed.

Cons:

The towel in the room are a bit thin and stiff. The noise from the streets are a bit loud at night.
