I would not recommend this, if you care about your wellbeing
Pros:

Breakfast was fine, also fresh fruit was borderline spoiled. Room was cleaned once during my stay, but the cleaning lady was extremely kind and accommodating

Cons:

I have never stayed at the facility run this poorly - from smelly carpets to crumbling particle boards in the kitchen, to missing baseboards in the living section with underlying construction material exposed, to disintegrating walls in the bathroom

Nice and Easy
Pros:

Large room with decent services included (kitchen and stuff). Accessible area with easy parking around the hotel.

Cons:

Old style decor and finishing. Fridge not efficient and poor shower. Not so adequate for the cost required.

Awful!
Pros:

The location and continental breakfast.

Cons:

We had to change rooms 3 times in 2 days because of air conditioning issues. The rooms are worn and shabby. The chairs in the bedrooms were filthy. The room that I thought I was getting with a master bedroom with a door actually cost me an additional $60.00. The sleeper sofa had a 2 1/2 inch pad on it, not suitable for anything other than a small child. When we had to pack up and change rooms for the third time in two days, my friend asked if we could get 2 smaller rooms as compensation and was denied. They didn't do anything to make up for the several problems we had during our short stay. They advertised a pool, which it has but is covered over.

It was a nice weekend spent with great breakfast and good staff
Pros:

The property was nice .

Cons:

The room we were in was far up for a disabled person. The room had curtains that were torn. The coffee machine was broken (leaking) and the sofa bed could have been better quality.

First visit! Won't be my last!
Pros:

It was a great location close to my conference. My room was very nice. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was nice. It had dishes and pots/pans. The breakfast was great! Hot and cold food. Pretty much whatever you wanted was there. A lot of choices. Very clean. The staff was friendly. Love this hotel. I would come again
