It was clean, had friendly staff, great Free Sunday breakfast, (other days were good breakfasts) convenient and quiet…I would like to have had better lighting in the parking area. I was alone with my 5 year old grandson and felt a little uneasy going to and from car at night. Overall I would give it 4 out of 5 stars!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Good except smelly AC.

The hotel was really good, although you have to pay for park. The only other bad thong was the AC smelled awful. It needs to be refurbished. The pool was heated and the jacuzzi was nic.e
