High hopes squashed.
Pros:

Friendly staff, ideal location, nice amenities (pool/hot tub, complimentary fresh coffee in the a.m), beautiful and clean lobby area.

Cons:

My family rented a King suite.. the room was dated and in dire need of a refresh. There was black mold on the bathroom wall, a broken pocket door--making privacy in the king suite non existent, wall trim was peeling and in need of sanding and repainting. Room 414 just really needs some love and attention to bring it back up to the standard my family was expecting. Additionally, the king bed was so incredibly hard it made sleeping
uncomfortable.

Old outdated rooms. I would definitely not return.
Pros:

The location is good. Two restaurants are attached to the property.

Cons:

Very outdated rooms. Dirty wallpaper: chipped old furniture; rusted bathtub faucets..The rooms need a total renovation and people should NOT be charged top dollar. There are other much better hotels in the area..such as the Holiday Inn close by.

Lovely staff, beautiful rooms, and accessible amenities!
Pros:

The staff offered us an upgrade and that was very thoughtful and kind. The resteraunt attached was lovely. Great location!

Cons:

In our upgraded room, the room/bed was extremely warm upstairs and we ended up needing to switch back to a suite with one level. Also, TV's you could not mirror your own Netflix. (google screening would be appreciated)

Slept with balcony door cracked for fresh air
Pros:

Proximity to restaurants and stores,
Room with balcony facing grassland hill
Quiet

Cons:

My bathroom had a mouldy smell emanating from the sink drain. Heating and cooling system was too loud to sleep with it powered on. Pool was very small and pool room was poorly ventilated so had a very strong chlorine smell, so I didn’t use it.

Great family hotel with prime location
Pros:

Location was prime. Close to everything you would need! Walmart, SuperStore, restaurants. And easy to get to where we needed to be. I also liked that this hotel had a room where each of the kids had their own bed and the parents had a separate room to sleep in.

Cons:

They closed the hot tub and could not tell us why.

Hotel is clean and quiet.
Pros:

There was no breakfast sadly. That would be convenient. At least some muffins and bagels. The hotel is clean and near lots of shopping and food. Checkin was quick.

Cons:

We were given a room looking out onto a dingy rooftop. Maybe because we used a booking service for a better rate???
