Pleasant, clean, and convenient.
Pros:

Had a two queen room. It seemed a bit smaller than most but very clean. I liked the composite floors vs carpet, as it just feels cleaner. The pool area is very nice with plenty of seating and covered picnic tables for enjoying meals outside. AC worked well.

Pros:

Very clean. 100 score.

I did ask booking.com for a 3rd floor room and also to not be near the elevator. My room was on the 2nd floor, and I was almost directly across from the elevator. And the hotel barely had any people there that night. The parking lot had maybe 5 or 6 cars.
The window of my room looked out on the roof/overhang at the front of the hotel so the room was dark. I asked if they could move me down or across the hall for more light, and she said it would be an extra $35!
BUT, on the good side, the hotel was super clean and well kept. So definitely worth the price.

We definitely didn’t enjoy our stay. First and last time
Pros:

It was clean and the staff was friendly

Cons:

That it was no hot water. We had to continue to ask for the staff to turn on the broiler so we could take a hot shower. The manager did try to compensate with a discount, which was nice but it could have been more. Even though the room was clean and staff was friendly we were still very unhappy with our stay.

We very much enjoyed ourselves and loved this place! We would definitely stay here again!
Pros:

We loved the staff! They were all so kind! As soon as you walked in it smelled clean and everything looked so nice!

Cons:

The only down side was the bed was slightly hard but other than that there were no issues!

I would stay here again.
Pros:

The breakfast was fine. The machine for pancakes wasn't working for me but I had other things to eat. The staff tried very hard to get the machine working.

Cons:

Honestly, the people above us were very loud and made a lot of walking noise.
