Nice stay, clean comfortable rooms w/good bkfst

The hotel is nice, comfortable, clean, in a convenient location and serves a breakfast with good choices. We didn't use the pool, but the room had a very comfortable king bed with nice pillows and decent TV channels/options. In case it matters, here are the only cons of note: The fitness center is very small...three cardio machines (bike, treadmill, elliptical) and some free weights (no bench) in a very small room, and the display on the bike was inop, so this didn't meet our needs but we were only there for a day during nice weather. There are parks and some trails in the area, but that requires nice weather. Lastly, the toilets seem very low, if that is a concern to anyone.

The front lobby worker was dressed in a baggy t shirt and sweat pants. That should of been my first indication. I had requested a room with a roll away or cot or pull out bed. I was told i can pay extra for two queens. Customer service is horrible. No thank you, sorry, good afternoon... not even a smile. I was overcharged as well.
