Great spot
Pros:

Lovely hotel. Really friendly staff and comfortable beds. Pool is not as small as it looks on pictures. Plenty of car parking spaces. Ideal for family with younger kids. The kitchen area in the room was ideal for breakfast/lunch prep

Cons:

Only slight negative was the floors were a little dirty, nothing a mop wouldn't fix.

We were in room 149 it was slightly noisy at night in one bedroom as it was right across the road from Icon park. It didn't bother on the whole as everyone was exhausted at night but if your a light sleeper I would request a room away from that side

Best bang for your buck. Great staff
Pros:

Having a kitchen

Cons:

Left a box of dry goods behind and did not receive a return phone call Was told I couldn't get points towards my Sonesta Pass program because I booked it on Booking instead of directly through the hotel.

Nice all-suite hotel on i-drive
Pros:

Great hotel in a great spot on i-drive. Plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Pool area was always clean and tidy. Rooms were very big and very quiet.

Cons:

Rooms a little dated but clean. Beware of the little shop on-site as its incredibly expensive.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Nothing at all. Only for families with small children.

Cons:

From the welcome to not having even a welcome water 💦 bottle. Everything was bad.
