I wish it had been better.
Pros:

The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

We were first put in a room that had no a.c. We had our dog with us and the nice lady at the front desk worked to find us another pet room to go to. The second room had a.c. that worked. The freezer made knocking noises that woke me up all through the night. (We were with family most of our arrival day, so didn’t hear it til we went back to the room to go to bed.) I was awakened at about 3:40am and the only way I could go to sleep was to run the air down to drown out the knocking noise in the fridge. Avoid room 210 unless the fridge has been fixed and room 222 had no working a.c. Hopefully it will be repaired soon. It was July 4th weekend, so that meant rates were higher. I wish our stay had been better given the price of the room and we had to pay extra for having our pup with us. There also is not a breakfast at this hotel but the hotel does have a coffee machine that makes great coffee.
