Nice Pool, Tiny Beds, 24/7 Weed Ambiance
Pros:

Good location close to stores and restaurants. Nice clean pool overlooking wooded area. Clean renovated bathroom. I liked the hard floors in the room since hotel carpet is usually gross. Hot breakfast was good and we loved the yogurt bar.

Cons:

People hanging out tailgating in the parking lot, smoking and drinking at all hours. The hallways inside smelled like pot 24 hours per day. The room was supposed to be a double queen but the beds were not queen. They seemed even smaller than full size and were very uncomfortable and one made so much noise every time we moved.

Nice new hotel with good breakfast.
Pros:

Comfortable beds, great shower, nice breakfast with yoghurt machine.
Did not use pool or exercise room but both look good.

Cons:

Long walk to elevator from room 237. The room faces the parking lot. Should have changed for an upper level. Curtain does not block outside light.

Wonderful option -bring your bathing suit
Pros:

A real gem - sparkling pool, patio with multiple grills, clean and comfortable rooms. If you have a dog, you can get a room where you can go right out a door into a large grassy area edged by woods. Great restaurants for takeout nearby. We will be back!

Cons:

Nothing. Some people have griped about the breakfast but given the price I thought the range of options (including eggs and sausage) was great

Nice clean rooms, quiet and easy access to local services.
Pros:

Location was easy to locate. Very clean, newer design and accommodations. Quite hotel with plenty of parking and room.

Cons:

Room that was booked was for two queen size beds. The room had one king size bed and pull-out couch/bed. Due to the nature of the relationship with the person I was with, it was not possible to share the king size bed. I had to sleep on the pull-out bed for the two nights I stayed at the hotel. Certainly not as comfortable as a bed. I'm not sure why this happened as the booking for the room was made well in advance.

Don't book it!
Pros:

Nothing. We booked this through booking.com. The pics looked great, but when we pulled in, we never got out of our vehicle. The property was not well kept at all. There were a lot of weeds. It looked like a crack place. My husband said, "There is no way I would get any sleep here." There was a bar/restaurant that I could not tell if it was in business or not.

Cons:

Don't believe the pics. This place should not be rated good, not even fair. Do not book this hotel.
