Overall thumbs up
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly, the pool was nice since there was a smaller wading pool for smaller children. The breakfast was lovely, I particularly enjoyed the cinnamon rolls. The location is great for if you plan on taking your children to the trampoline park.

Cons:

The suite had many beds but it felt very cramped for the occupancy amount.

We had a fantastic 2 day stay and highly recommend this hotel to everyone!
Pros:

The hotel is located in a great location. McDonald's and Subway and many other stores within walking distance. The hotel was clean and felt safe. The pool was big and a pretty good temperature. The Kiddies pool and hot tub were great too. They have a delicious and excellent breakfast buffet each morning and 24 coffee. The whole staff were very kind, patient, and helpful.

Cons:

Everything really was great but the bathroom was a little small.

Great location, acceptable place to stay.
Pros:

Good breakfast, friendly staff, great location. Accessible bathroom was advertised, and room overall was clean and spacious.

Cons:

Spotlight at night right next to window, and blinds do not close to be fully opaque - light shines through crease all night long. Be sure to read fine print: there is a refrigerator, but no microwave. Minor issues: TV channel guide does not match actual channels; no notepad or pen; main room door lock tended to jam.
