Our stay here was great overall. Room was spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer—they were super courteous. There was some remodeling going on but they made a serious effort to limit any inconvenience. Solid spot, we will come back.

I always find the rooms & facilitates to be clean & well maintained - staff is great and i love staying here! The only drawback - which can happens at any hotel, especially with a pool - is screaming kids running in the hallways

Very clean and comfortable. I'm a reader so I would have liked a lamp near the sofa. I fail to understand why hotels don't have nightlights in the bathrooms.
