I feel like I would’ve had less grumbles if we had our own beds. The mattress wasn’t bad, and almost felt comfortable, i
Pros:

It was very convenient right off of the expressway.

Cons:

I book a room with two double beds, and I received a room with one double bed. This made it very uncomfortable for me and my spouse. The bathroom had a water damaged ceiling and during the night when someone upstairs was taking a shower, it was leaking.

It was ok but could’ve been better
Pros:

No breakfast was offered at this location

Cons:

The room could’ve been cleaner prior to my stay since I booked a couple days in advance the hot tub could’ve been cleaned and the floors could’ve gotten swept and mopped and the shower also could’ve been cleaned but none of them were clean prior to my stay
