Pros:

Stay was quick and last minute. You get what you pay for I guess. First Room we were put in smelt so bad of dog/a wet smell just awful. Literally made me sick and my head hurt. I have a baby so requested to be moved. New room was just ran down compared to the original smelly room. We spent most our time out leaving us only to sleep at the hotel. Never again

Pros:

It’s ok, but there is an issue where you book two beds with in Expedia and the hotel doesn’t have 2 beds. Very odd, I don’t think they have 2 beds or they do not have enough rooms with double beds

3rd Time & Loving It
Pros:

I love the staff especially Jacob. This has been 3rd time staying at this hotel and he is the night check in guy. Super nice, very friendly. We always ck in late because we come after the Hooks baseball game, tired! The check in process is super quick. We love our room as well. We always get 2 queen beds. Breakfast set up is sooo cool. And that "Maria" (i believe is her name) always has a smile and greets everyone!! I love her!!!

Cons:

That it doesn't have a pool but that's ok.
