It was a nice surprise trip to take in the hotel made it more comfortable of a stay.
Pros:

The property was clean. The area was quiet and it was a nice place to rest.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like was in the bathroom you could see the tile work and it had a little bit of rust, so maybe cleaning up the bathroom a little bit more but other than that it was good and clean and all the other places.

Pros:

Continent to different areas we wanted to see. Fun restaurants with in walking distance. Quick hop over to the interstate and we were to different part of town within minutes.

Cons:

The elevator was a little noisy and not smooth, seemed to have trouble the couple of days we visited. Other visitors didn't respect noise, also several left early and were packing up and leaving and there were a lot of room doors slamming closed over and over. Like they walked out of the room and they just hard closed behind them?

The best hotel experience i have had in a very long time!
Pros:

The staff was the nicest people i have ever met. It was me and my 2 kids and he was nice enough to place me in a room on the first floor next to the pool for easy access. Helped with getting the luggage rack for me. Just truly amazing. Went above and beyond! I wish I would have got his name so I could mention him!

Cons:

There was nothing! I loved everything! Breakfast was delicious!
