The floor was wet in the room, and when I told the front desk, they did not even make a note of it. When I said the temperature control was off, they did make an immediate note of that. I set the room temperature to 68, and it was so warm I had to remove the sheets.
This is where the carpet was wet.  The carpet right next to the fridge was dry, so it was not a condensation issue.  I did not notice till next morning when I stepped there barefoot.

The room was nice & clean, bed was comfy. It was only a continental breakfast but included yogurt & instant oatmeal with toppings, fruit, juices, muffins and bagels with lots of spreads to top them with. BUT, no coffee makers in the rooms. There is coffee & tea available in the lobby 24/7……but who wants to bundle up & walk down there at 5 am for coffee? I really hope they reconsider that policy. They have fridges, microwaves, irons & hair dryers…what would it hurt to have a coffee maker?

The room was spacious and clean… comfortable bedding and I loved the enclosed center garden area with the pool- great place to walk my dog. Location was great if you are traveling on the I-5 with pets. The staff were friendly and courteous and I felt welcomed with my dog and cats. Definitely recommend for a night’s stay.
