Great stay
Pros:

It's in a great place. The room was nice and big.the bathroom was spacious the bed was comfortable

Cons:

I couldn't get the shower to work properly the tub filled up with water because the shower lid wouldn't stay up. The breakfast wasn't the best there was not enough cooked and out for us to eat we had to wait for certain food to appear.

Pros:

Cleanliness was wonderful, great room, and Monique in the breakfast area was almost TOO cheerful before I had my first sip of coffee. No complaints.

Cons:

Not being able to safely cross the 4 lane street to eat at Hector's less than a block away is ridiculous! We had to get back in the car after driving for 6 hours, when walking would have been much preferred. This is a city failure.
