This was a delight of a stay, it had every little amenity I was looking for, and then some! It was an even better place to stay than I had imagined, especially because of the mixed reviews in the past. I understand the place was renovated over the last few months, which makes sense - the room feels new and shiny!

This is a well-maintained property with a lovely Tiki Bar and pool. We were there to see Spring Training Baseball at the Pirates site a few miles away. It was a great location for that.

Close to the airport. Nice Tiki bar. Floors were dirty in the room. Microwave is so high up it’s hard to use. All in all we would stay there again because of the location and bar. Locals show up to have a drink there. Right next to a busy highway.
