We booked a dayroom and it was the best decision. We spent 5 hours there and 2 of those hours was in the pool. The pool and room were very clean. Staff were very friendly and plenty of package food in the lobby. Only down side is not too many restaurant option in walking distance. There’s a taco shop across the street but it’s closed on Sunday and Mondays. Other then that hotel was great and we’ll definitely be staying here again.
