Just taking our dog 🐶 to Mutts & Manners and drive too long in one day so we stayed
Pros:

Lady at front desk very nice.
Lots of places to eat very close. Very quiet at night, rooms clean and friendly staff

Cons:

70% of America has a dairy allergy. Every hotel should have some type of alternative milk for coffee or cereal. Luckily Starbucks not far.
The loose tiles outside shower are scary.

Peaceful
Pros:

The location was great but the staff were amazing.

Cons:

The pool wasn’t open when we went in March. I understood it wasn’t in season but the weather was hot enough to have it open. The complimentary breakfast was okay, could have given a little more options. Like pancakes or waffles. Other than that everything was great.

Pleasant, comfortable with only a few minor flaws, Tabitha was wonderful and went above and beyond and so did the maid.
Pros:

The rooms were a nice size, plenty of usable space and storage. On a scale of 1-10 for cleanliness we would give it a 7.5 because there was some detail cleaning that could done. The beds were comfortable, sheets were comfy and clean too. The breakfast was unfortunately nothing to write home about but we made it work with the bagels, juice and coffee.

Cons:

Some of the staff smoking right outside the front doors, limited front side parking, could use a more detailed attention to cleaning and the shower door allowed water to pour out if you didn’t have in the exact right spot.

Nice property but I would not stay here again due to the thin walls and noise.
Pros:

The property is up to date and clean. Rooms are modern. The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that. Beds and pillows comfortable. Good location, close to food and amenities.

Cons:

The walls are paper thin and the people all around us were so incredibly loud, well into 1-2 a.m. And we had to get up at 5:30 so it made for a difficult stay. The guests here seem to be in large groups. You cannot control the room temperature and it was set at 74. (This isn't reasonable when the temperature outside is in the 80s.)

Will never return.
Pros:

Outside of the hallways smelling like smoke, the bathroom looked clean.

Cons:

The young woman at the front desk was so uncomfortably and unusually rude at our checkin. The bed made so much noise. It sits on a meddle box. It looks like an electrical box outside of your house.
