Pros:

Free breakfast, large room, decent wifi, location, value

Cons:

Air quality in the room. Airco was also noisy.
Noise insulation could be better, if you're in the lower rooms, you can hear people walking in the room above.

Pros:

Hey the food for that Labor Day weekend breakfast was amazing please give compliments. The omelette on Sunday was really good and the burritos it had bacon and cheese for that one day I’m guessing, it didn’t have it the next day but maybe it was only for a special occasion.

Nice new renovated rooms
Pros:

I can highly recommend this hotel. It is clean, comfortable and spacious. It appears to be newly renovated. It has a nice pool and you can drive up to your door for the first floor rooms.

Pros:

The room was very spacious, beds were so comfy. We had 2 queen beds. Had very good night's sleep. We thought it might be noisy as close to a road but it was fine.
The breakfast choices were really good. Waffle machine, omelettes, sausage muffins, cereals, fruit and much more. Really enjoyed the breakfasts.
We relaxed by the pool for a couple of days which was nice, the pool was clean.
All in all really lovely stay. Would recommend to everyone.

Second stay at this property; Good Location
Pros:

Property and room were clean; breakfast had good selection; staff was friendly. I’m told the TV was good (I don’t know much about these things). There seemed to be a good amount of people working at the property too, doing maintenance and cleaning.

Cons:

Nothing comes to mind.
