Its a nice place to get away just a few tweaks and it would be perfect
Pros:

It was a nice place to get a way and the price was pretty decent

Cons:

The poor food quality I think they need to up the game on the breakfast because it seemed like all the breakfast was just frozen pre-made food and I feel like if they would provide a hotel and breakfast maybe satisfy the people that are staying to have a complimentary breakfast as well. I wasnt a huge fan of the wifi and the wifi was supposedly to be fast but I couldnt play my game there which the download speed was very slow and my ping was was at an all time high.

It was fine.
Pros:

Easy to get to the events we were there to attend. Comfortable bed. Plenty of room. Nice to have a couch in our room. Room was very clean. Shower worked fine. The window opened a crack - yay! Having a pool was a big plus too.

Cons:

The hallways had a chemical smell. The pool didn’t look normal - the color of the water was a murky green. There was no option for hot tea/coffee in the lobby. And the Starbucks provided lukewarm coffee and its meal choices were awful. No place nearby to go for breakfast either, so that made this a real inconvenience. Would have loved free coffee and tea in the lobby at least.

Lovely stay for family event -
Pros:

Check in was lovely and the staff was especially nice and responsive when I came down with a request. The room and bed were comfortable. The room was clean and quiet. Our nieces enjoyed the pool.

Cons:

Breakfast was not great anndnit was not included in the price. All they have is a Starbucks that is not up to par, and the coffee there was weak and lukewarm. The food did not seem appetizing.

Deceptive pet practices
Pros:

Seemed fine, didn’t make it past the front desk due to pet size restrictions that were absolutely not in any fine print that I could find (or I wouldn’t have booked here) or that booking.com could find when they were attempting to help me. Ironically as well, they couldn’t make contact with the hotel, the hotel wouldn’t answer the phone. I stood at the desk with booking.com agent on speaker, phone did not ring. I requested the number to that exact phone, after having to get rather unprofessional, I was given the number and again waited, no phone ringing observed

Cons:

No willingness to solve a problem. Front desk dingbat just kept repeating himself over and over. No refund, call booking.com, no refund, no refund, call booking.com
