As a solo traveler this is a must stay.
Pros:

The room was so well set up. I was here for a family event and was able to continue to do my work in a quite room A++
The bed was very comfortable. The shower had the right amount of pressure.
I really enjoyed the onsite eatery. Great portions and great value.
I absolutely loved the sitting areas out side the room so that I could enjoy the courtyard and the water feature in the center of the hotel. Very warm and welcoming. So much so I took pictures of the courtyard and suggested my Uncle stay when he came to the area a mere 4 days later.

No other place I would stay when visiting family. Close to everything in town and on site dining.
Pros:

Ease of checking in and close parking right outside our room. Also - onsite breakfast

Cons:

Size of actual bedroom, and teeny bathroom. Have to stand in the toilet to open and close the door. Also the door stuck out into the bedroom and worried that I might hit it when getting up in the middle of the night.

Beds were clean and comfortable. The place needs some TLC
Cons:

It’s a pretty tired BW. Chunks falling out of the ceiling from water leaking. The vent in our room was black and scary. Dirt? Rust? Black mold? Couldn’t tell.

Pros:

The room was clean, and we ate both lunch and dinner there. The burger was delicious but the Mexican food, tacos, quesadilla, and nachos were excellent.

It seemed the staff were not very happy. The lounge staffer was not friendly at all. As an older adult, I’m used to good helpful customer service. No eye contact or I don’t appreciate a simple “no.” When asking a question.
My husband and I are back next week, we will see if things are better.
