Clean and comfortable
Pros:

It was clean and comfortable and nice staff. Hot tub had good jets and was enjoyable.

Cons:

There are no confortavle places to sit in lobby-I tried them all. I was up hours before my partner and hung in lobby. However, chairs in dining area were cheap and cushions were broken down in the handful I tried. And, the other furniture was rock hard and plasticky feeling and made for very tall people. Obviously not a deal breaker , but could be on the improvement list.

Also, they could use usb ports or more outlets near bed. Has to disconnect phone?/clock? Ans move table out a lot to be able to plug in my charger. The outlet on the lamp was too narrow to accommodate my plug.

Pros:

The bathroom needs to be renovated. The wallpaper was coming apart from the wall. The shower head barely put out a steady stream of water. Worse was bathroom floor. Couldn’t decide if it was dirty or severely stained.
