Nice Pool & Amenities
Pros:

Good vibe when you walk in. Nice front desk folks. Plenty of parking. Breakfast was on point. Pool was clean and plenty of towels. Room was spacious and clean. Only complaint was the paid parking due to the lot being secure. Happy with stay and would definitely come again.

Very family friendly, kind staff, great accommodations for our family vacation.
Pros:

Had a great experience thus far, before we even arrived we received a free room upgrade as there was an issue with our other room. Not to mention receiving a very kind text from the morning manager asking if there was anything they could do in preparation for us. 10/10, will definitely return if we are back in the area.
