Loved it and would stay here again!
Pros:

Everything was clean, the colors were bright, and the room layout boosted my mood somehow. Lots of convenient details like the lights, light switches, storage situation, and the privacy shades that still let in sunlight. I also appreciated that their hold fee on my card is lower than some hotels in the area and that they offered wake up calls.

Cons:

The bed was a little stiff, could’ve been softer. Also breakfast was definitely a disappointing experience; but I wasn’t that worried about it.

Exactly what I needed - always reliable and comfortable
Pros:

So quiet, room was so dark, and the beds are so comfy. Clean room and bathroom too!

Cons:

I sent 3 messages to the property about timing on the airport shuttle and my flight but I never got a response. I ended up getting in late and luckily another passenger on my flight gave me a ride
