Great stay will stay again when i am in the area
Pros:

Room was nice and equipped with everything! room smelled great and clean. Hallways were clean and front desk workers were very nice and greet us with a smile.

Cons:

I think they should have some type of free breakfast, at least a juice machine and a quick bite. That would be a bonus

Had a smaller room than we usually get- we have stayed here for the same event the last 3 yrs. So that was a surprise vs
Pros:

Location to UK

Cons:

Small parking lot with too many reserved Diamond elite spots.
2 people staying in a room for 5 days and there were 3 towels in the room. There is no room service so you have to go get more towels.

Pros:

Did not eat breakfast, location was best for me.

Cons:

Toilet too close to cabinet, toilet paper holder needs better location or more room. Bed was good, but did not like the pillows. Towels need to be improved.
