Was a great refuge in poor weather, pleasant, and a good deal
Pros:

I really liked the room; in addition to the typical hotel structure on the property, there are two "row house" type structures with side by side rooms. Each has a front door and a big back door wall looking out to a grassy courtyard. We stayed in one of these. It was SO QUIET. And parking in front of your door is pretty convenient. Generous breakfast, nice staff, and the place was clean👌✅✨

Cons:

Only two things that were notable: the doorwall is older and it was POURING rain for two days, and a little dampness snuck in the door wall at floor level, along with a squirmy little insect friend. (I sent him back out to play.) (Please note that it was an exceptional amount of rain; the rain was the reason we vacated our campground tent for the night and sought solid shelter.)

The beds are okay; I slept OK, but the mattress is firm and not my ideal, but I also am "the princess and the pea" kind of sleeper, so don't necessarily be dissuaded by my comment unless you see a lot more of the same sentiment expressed by others. This room was a great value, imho.

Clean, Comfortable, and Convenient
Pros:

Staff was friendly and welcoming. Rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. Nice sized TV with a clear picture. The location was situated near many restaurants and attractions.p

Cons:

First world problems, but the shower was lukewarm at best. Also, the channel guide did not match the TV channels. Slight inconveniences, not deal breakers.

Clean, nice location.
Cons:

Staff at check in on Wednesday afternoon was disinterested. Spent most of her time looking at her phone.

Eggs at the breakfast bar were not well prepared.

Not enough parking, had to park on other side of the building. Room had a funky smell and bed was hard as a rock. Room could have been cleaner.
