Disappointing property
Pros:

Staff at check in were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Could not believe the price of this property. i have paid way less for bigger or the same sized room! Did not get any extra for the double my normal price I was charged! Had no gluten free options for breakfast, so who cares if its included when you still can't eat anything. Booked a place close to the stadium and this defiantly was not that property!

Clean, comfortable, and great bed!
Pros:

Really liked the cheese omelet! Could have salsa for the eggs, but otherwise it was fine. Of course the cinnamon rolls are "the bomb"! Also, the room was very clean and the sheets are so smooth...heavenly! Also, front desk, Karen, was great!

Cons:

We liked pretty much everything! Would appreciate a complementary bottle of water like the Hampton does! 😉 We had to buy ours at your hotel for $2.00 a bottle.
