Great location with decent facilities
Pros:

Walking distance to shops and restaurants at Barracks Road

Cons:

Spare sheets were heavily stained; light went out suddenly while taking a shower and didn’t come back on; pool was very dirty and in need of maintenance (dingy scum line and full of leaves)

Great price and location!
Pros:

Great location and very clean.

Cons:

I didn’t like that the suite’s bathroom was only accessible through the bedroom. The person who was traveling with me slept in the living room, so they had wake me to walk through the bedroom to use the restroom.

Prima voor een kort verblijf
Pros:

Het zijn ruime kamers, het hotel heeft een centrale ligging en vlakbij een groot winkelcentrum. Ontbijt is prima

Cons:

Het hotel heeft wel een upgrade nodig. Het interieur is echt aan vervanging toe. De stoelen waren helemaal versleten en de lampenkap zat vol met vlekken. Het zwembad was ook niet heel schoon.

Pros:

The breakfast was good.

Cons:

If we were in a room with grab bars by the toilet, that would have been easier for my dad.

Very quaint and comfortable place to stay.
Pros:

The location was near where we needed to go but not a lot of traffic or noise which made the experience even better.

Cons:

There was nothing wrong with the property. There were no loud neighbors, the food was good. The shopping was within walking distance. So no complaints.

satisfaction
Pros:

We were happy to get a room at the end of the hallway. No one was around, so we had a quiet night. The beds were comfortable, and the linens were clean. The cleaning lady did a good job cleaning our unit. We stayed in a unit with 2 rooms with queen beds, a small living room, and a kitchen. The breakfast was fine for a one-night stay. They are saying its exceptional breakfast, but it's not. It's basic stuff like any roadside hotel. If a biscuit and gravy, eggs and pancake is exceptional, then try to live healthy on your trip. Across the street from the hotel is a nice mall with a Kroger grocery store and other boutique shops. Worth stopping to shop or eat. I recommend booking here.

Cons:

Everything was fine, like we expected it on our trip
