Stayed at the property for 2 nights! The room was very clean! The breakfast was very delicious with a lot of options! The only thing that was disappointing was when we were going up to our room somebody threw up all over the elevator and it wasn’t cleaned up right away so the elevator smelled like puke and we had to touch the puke to press what floor we were on.

This is a clean hotel with affordable rates and welcoming staff. We have stayed here a few times over the years and generally enjoyed it. However, there are a few areas for improvement: 1. This hotel has the worst quality breakfast food I have personally encountered over the last 20 years, and more than 40 hotels across countries and continents. You will be able to find food, but it is of the absolute lowest quality possible. I think it qualifies as toxic. 2. The nightstands don’t have power outlets, clocks, or charging areas available. 3. Our AC made a lot of noise, but there was minimal cooling.

Nice relaxing stay

We enjoyed our stay overall. The bed was large and comfortable. Room was clean and spacious. Ample parking. Front desk people were friendly but not informed about the EV charging. Only one usb b (no c) port in the room. Pool was clean and warm and located at the adjacent hotel but not too far to walk over. We ordered tacos but they’re small and ok. Breakfast was decent. Nothing within walking distance so it’s a place to relax. We didn’t use the spa so not different from the Aryes hotel I think.
