Pros:

Excellent breakfast.....plentiful and good protein options. The gym had a full set of dumbells i used for my workout and all various machines available. It was so nice that the pool was inside so we could swim even though it was raining outside. The staff were all friendly and made the atmosphere of the hotel a great place to be!

Cons:

The hotel in general is a little outdated but well cared so it made up for that.

Nice beds and coffee
Pros:

The beds!

Cons:

The bathroom needed updating. The grout was black under the sink rim. The bath tub needed replacing. Two of the three days the pool was closed for repairs. That was one of the reasons we picked the hotel.

Convenient location, nice room. I would stay again.
Pros:

The location way very convenient and had a few restaurants and fast food locations nearby. The hotel seemed to be newly remodeled. The room was very spacious and had everything I needed in the main space. I left before breakfast.

Cons:

My only complaint about the room was there was no storage in the bathroom, just a small counter space with nowhere to place your toiletry bag. Also nowhere to hang your towel while you were in the shower.
