Great affordable family option!
Pros:

We stayed here for one night as it was close to Elmvale Zoo. It was affordable for a family of 3 and we were very impressed with the room which included a king size bed, sitting area and pull out couch.
My daughter loved the pool and we also enjoyed playing at the park! Less than 15 minutes away from the zoo which was perfect.

Cons:

This place locks down at 9pm but knows 70% of people who came this passing weekend were going to boots and hearts which goes too 11 pm for concerts or later so if you loose a key card your essentially out of a room for the night and stuck in ur vehicle or whatever u choose but yeah definitely needs to be figured out for safety reason in my opinion
