Pros:

Great location close to everything great dining with its own small sports bar.....however very close to the highway lots of sirens all night......cars revving and zooming all night long and rooms are not very sound proof in those regards had to use ear plugs and it barley drowned out the noise at all.

Pros:

check in & check out were fine... what could go wrong
nice room clean other than hallway carpet
window looked into back hallway ??? staff coffee area?
we were there for a medical appt ... IT WAS SO NOISY I DID NOT SLEEP ALL NIGHT and had to look after my husband and drive 5 hours to home ... doors slamming, people running up and down the hallways and in the room above us until all hours, YELLING SCREAMING ... all on a monday night ... so much for the quote 'fully enforced' quiet time from 10 pm to 7 am ... RIDICULOUS

Pros:

Nice that it has a pool and waterslide which kids would certainly enjoy. Unfortunately, the window in my room looked into the storage area below the pool. That had mattresses, tables, and certainly no view of the morning outside. Disappointing.

Pros:

I choose this hotel because it was near Polo Park and Olive Garden. And an additional bonus was the pool with a water slide, a hot tub and a wading pool. I would stay here again

Pros:

I was upgraded because when I walked into my room there was a drill in the bathroom, shower curtain on the bed, no towels. Staff was great & apologetic but even the upgrade is old- the hotel needs some work!

Disappointed
Pros:

Booked 2 rooms about a month ago. When we got there we find out our rooms are on opposite sides of the hotel on different floors. Could have at least put us on the same side. Not impressed.

Pros:

Parking was ok, the lobby was ok but had an overall old building smell all over the building. Our room wasn’t cleaned properly. There was some questionable red smear on the bathroom wall. Crumbs on the floor and beds. The carpet off the elevator on our floor was quite dirty.

Pros:

Check-in was quick and easy. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Housekeeping showed up to clean the room our second day, I declined and simply exchanged some towels. My only complaints was noise. The hotel is right across the road from a fire station, so i heard sirens multiple times during the night, also i heard chatter on a security guards radio outside my room door multiple times during the night as well.

Pros:

Oddly the window overlooked a storage room beneath the pool. Where the lights are always on and there is sometimes noise from the pool.

It was annoying not to be able to look outside..Everything else was good.
