Property itself was wonderful. The rooms were spacious. The only issue was a stale scent in the room since the day we arrived. Iron burnt my white clothes but was replaced almost immediately once reported Also the breakfast was plentiful but toasters were not commercial grade and broke. Overall, satisfied with our stay.

Cero stars, The employees ate extremely rude and will try to embarrass you in front of people. It happened to me at the front desk went I check out. Everything happened because a safe didn't work and the employee didn't even gave a call to tell they couldn't replace it. I ask to be move to a different room. Later at the check out they let me know how unhappy they were about it in front of people by making a scene. I would not recommend this place!!!

Nice hotel but pool situation is not great.

The location of the hotel is good, near lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance if you don't have a car. However, if you do have a car the $24 a day parking price is something to consider. Over a longer stay it can become pricey. The hotel is in great condition although there were some signs of wear and tear in our room (misaligned cabinet door, broken flooring). All areas seemed clean. Modern lobby area with lots of seating. Did not swim in the pool; it is situated right next to the front entrance with a fence that you can see through; you are essentially on display. Not an inviting or seemingly relaxing environment. Skipped it all together even though I was looking forward to swimming.

The parking for the hotel is across a busy street and you have to squeeze between shrubs, dirt, mulch and trash to get from the parking lot to the walkway to go across the street to the hotel. The parking lot was filthy day and night, and trash was never removed from the grounds during my visit. The inside of the property was well maintained and my room was very clean.

The hotel was clean and conveniently located near many activities, entertainment, and restaurants. The room was spacious and well-equipped. The only drawback was that the breakfast was a bit simple; it was just OK. I would've liked a "make your own pancake/waffle" station for the kids. Other than that, it was a nice stay, staff was nice, pool was nice, room was nice.
