Everything was clean, neat and quiet. Friendly and helpful staff. A few suggestions: Replace light switches with dimmers. Add hooks in entryway and bathroom to hang coats, sweatshirts, etc. A second bedside light would be helpful.

Flowers and landscaping were very nice. Room was neat but had a smell of perfumy cleaning products. We did notice that the ceiling vent in the bathroom was very dirty/dusty and the TV remote was not cleaned, but other than that the room seemed to be in very good shape. Hotel is located near the highway but thankfully pretty quiet. We attempted to take a mid-afternoon nap & we had our windows up *awesome breeze!) and could hear staff talking loudly right outside of our window (about Mario's lunch break) across the parking lot. There were also landscapers/mowers going right past our back window in the morning around 9:00 AM, at least it wasn't earlier.

Nice and clean rooms and well maintained property. Only downside was the sofa bed where you could feel every spring in the “mattress”. Daughter ended up sleeping on the floor on top of the sofa cushions.
