Always welcoming staff and a great room.
Pros:

The location is next to my favorite restaurant, Anthony's Fish Grotto.
The staff is always amazing. We checked in around 9pm. Thad the front desk clerk, was fantastic. He was personable, professional, and went out of his way to make our stay the best it could be. Kudos Thad. On check out Lucia greeted us with such joy that it made the conclusion of our stay positive and set the vibe for the whole day. Thank you Lucia.
Love the hotel, look forward to our return.

Clean, friendly staff with several options for the free breakfast.
Pros:

I loved that the pool and spa were open until 10pm. Also, it is right down the road from Walmart, Target, Olive Garden, and a lot of other shopping centers (10 minute straight drive). The bed room was very spacious. Good size mini fridge and a good size microwave. There is a fitness room too. The staff is so friendly and always available to provide support. The morning staff in the kitchen are the nicest people and we’re great to my kids. The cleaning staff are amazing and made sure we had everything we needed.

Cons:

While we were there a few homeless people were allowed to come in with their belongings and sleep on the couch in the lobby. It wouldn’t have been a problem except the lobby is the only entrance to the building so my kids and I walked through where they were sleeping (both nights, 2 different people) however this definitely speaks to the kind hearted people who are working at this facility.

It met our needs and was clean and comfortable.
Pros:

The room was comfortable.

Cons:

Our door was stuck, so it was difficult to get into my room. When cleaned, the cleaners did not stock coffee or toiletries. Breakfast bar could use an upgrade, but the coffee was great.

I enjoyed the ample parking, breakfast and hot tub.
Pros:

I really enjoyed the outdoor hot tub.

Cons:

This is a bit nit-picky, but I would have liked a wand-style shower head in the tub.
