Location was great, clean, swimming pool was nice. The issue is when it comes time for breakfast, they are shorthanded, and several items were empty such as coffee, coffee cups, ketchup and so on. The room was spacious with two TVs, comfortable bed. The tub was new, but the bottom was not set right and would wobble when you would stand on it (as if you are on a surfboard). $300 a night is a little stipe for this type of service, but it is on off the affordable properties around there

The rooms were really clean and organized everything you need. It was perfect for our family of five. The breakfast was delicious. The front desk lady was phenomenal. Went above and beyond to help. Least favorite checking into the room. It was hot and stuffy. The air conditioning wasn’t turned on.

No internet, very noisy neighbor with children (8) people in a room, staff did nothing to quell the situation, brown recluse spider in the bathroom, refrigerator was missing a foot so it was super wobbly, I love the brand but this was the worst one ever, sadly, it wasn’t cheap either and the breakfast was way overcooked. Great hotel gym however, one of the best! I won’t be back but I won’t give up on the brand.
