I would not stay there again.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly

Cons:

The room smelled like mold and the carpet was very soiled. And the breakfast was terrible. I didn’t have high hopes for a hotel breakfast and yet it managed to disappoint.

overall stay was pleasant, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was clean, a bit dated.
Pros:

beds wear very comfortable, sheets were clean and so were the bath towels

Cons:

Bathroom was not cleaned properly. My wife found someones hair in the bath tub. Also the carpet was not vacuumed. There's construction going on near the hotel, so prepare for your car to be covered in dust, lots of it. Continental breakfast could have a wider selection besides, eggs, very thin bacon and home fries. There was no juice was available, the machine was out of service.

Wonderful hotel. Would stay here again
Pros:

Very nice hotel. Clean. Nicely updated. Dog friendly and we were put on the first floor. Always a plus when traveling with 2 dogs. Breakfast was a plus. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. 100% I'd stay here again. Pool areas was nice and refreshing.

Cons:

They are pett friendly BUT you cant leave your dog unattended in the room. So we had to take our pups everywhere when we left the hotel.
