Super
Pros:

Everything was great! In particular, we would like to thank Tim at the front desk, who took great care of us and handled our reservation issue with exceptional attention. He was very helpful, attentive, and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. We really appreciate his support.

We will definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to come back!

View from our room was of the bins and our room was not cleaned on the second day. We stayed there 2 nights. The breakfast was poor.

Super loud all night, limited service in evening/night.
Pros:

Good room layout for family. Good breakfast and morning staff.

Cons:

Checkin wanted a lot of information because my info didn’t save. We had to go to the front desk to get bedding for pullout and they wouldn’t guarantee a sheet. We did get it but service didn’t make the bed or bring to room. Mostly, there were people talking loudly in the courtyard right outside our room until 3:30am. I finally called the front desk and they did go talk to them but it was ridiculous. It took them 10m to clear out still. I don’t know if they were even staying there because there’s no key card access to the courtyard. We all slept horribly.
