Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The beds were super comfortable. They didn’t have sheets or blankets to make up the couch bed. So I asked the front desk for the linens and 3 extra towels and the MOD was kinda rude about it, also they didn’t have any extra pillows or a roll away crib for the baby. The breakfast was surprisingly pretty good. The best part were the Texas shaped waffles that you could make yourself the only downside was there wasn’t any milk and it wasn’t replaced by the time we had to leave.
