Very convenient and early check in and late check out was extremely helpful. I would stay here again because of that.
Pros:

I’ve stayed at a few places in this area, and this was the most friendly staff. I would choose this hotel over others just for this reason.

Cons:

The only issue I had was the air conditioning was loud.

We enjoyed our stay here and were happy with most everything
Pros:

Breakfast was great with the exception of no cinnamon rolls the first day. Appreciated gluten free options. The staff person did a great job keeping up with restocking and cleaning in breakfast area.
Walking trail right behind hotel was nice. The first night we were there, we were able to see the sunset :)
Newer hotel, nice location close to many restaurant options.

Cons:

The bathroom space was on the small side. A couple of times, we heard a dog barking in the room across from us
