Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The AC unit was terribly loud, couldn't sleep at all. Low water pressure, took a long time to shower. No creamer for the coffee...until we were leaving and another upset guest found the creamer carafes in the mini fridge on the other side of the dining area, nowhere near the coffee. It's like no one there cares about the customers experience. Won't go back.

Perfect place for a quick trip with my family of 4. Was upgraded to a bigger room on check in. The pool was nice with plenty of seating. The room was great. The breakfast was plentiful. And the parking is free!
