Very clean but the hotel has issues.
Pros:

I read great reviews about this place. I will start with the positive. The people who work here are the best. Helpful, kind and knowledgeable. Our room was clean. However, we encountered a few problems. First the drain in the bathroom sink was clogging if you ran the water. Second, the shower water was only lukewarm. Then, we only had tiny left over rolls of toilet paper. When I asked if we could get a new full roll, I was told they didn’t have any as they were waiting on a shipment. I believe someone took the roll from the office and finally brought us one roll. The drain was fixed as was the problem with the hot water. Later we went to put the shade down so we didn’t have to look at the homeless camp a few hundred feet from our window and the shade would not go down. It also was fixed. The AC is fickle. If i set it at 74, heat comes on. 73 and it is freezing cold. I asked about the homeless camp and was told that was a new issue that started this month. We initially planned to walk to dinner and the store, but with the growing number of homeless people just at the next building we felt more comfortable driving. We haven’t tried breakfast yet. Will check that out in the morning.

Rip off
Pros:

Cancelled due to last minute child vomiting. Purchased cancellation insurance but when I tried to file a claim the website stated it was unable to process my information. Will contact credit card company & file a claim for fraudulent charge as cancellation insurance is fraudulent

Don't waste your time calling with questions
Pros:

We had a last minute need for a hotel room. I called the direct number prior to booking to ensure the pool was open. After being told yes, I told my 2 and 3 year old we could swim and stopped for bathing suits on the way to check in at around 7pm. After arriving, I was told the pool had been closed for some time and there was nothing the hotel could do because I booked through hotels.com. I could have booked at 3 other nearby hotels for the same price.

Pros:

There was nothing wrong with the property. It was perfectly adequate for our purpose. Cozier linens and towels would have improved, but that is not the hotel's fault. We knew what we'd be getting when booking there. I would have no problems staying there again.
