A good place for the price.
Pros:

The staff was helpful and nice. The breakfast area was clean and the food was prepared well. I liked the free weights in the exercise room. The pool was fun.

Cons:

A light switch in our room was broken so we couldn’t use the ceiling fan. There was a seal at the bottom of the shower that was peeled away from the wall and it looked nasty. There was long hairs floating in the pool.

Not bad
Pros:

The pool was wonderful and the hot tub was spacious. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable, the pillows were also uncomfortable. The pull out couch mattress look disgusting. It’s super stained and also very uncomfortable. There were no make up towels which a lot of hotels have now so it’s a bit outdated in that way. The sound machine was broken and the hair dryer wouldn’t work.

Plesant, low key, convenient
Pros:

Convenient location for our needs

Cons:

Outdoor pool was closed for remodeling unknown until check-in. Would have thought better to do after Labor Day. Not a deal-breaker, just a disappointment. TV had limited movie options — no premium channels.

Pros:

It was a cozy atmosphere, beds were very comfortable.
There was some construction but it was not loud just a little dusty near stairwells.

Overall, would stay again. The hot tub was amaze!!!!

Cons:

I would have given a higher mark for cleanliness but the pool had hair and other debris that were unpleasant to swim in.
