Great location. Good choice when traveling with dogs. Nice bedding. OK breakfast. Friendly staff. Didn't like dirty floor in uncarpeted area. Should be wet mopped more frequently. I used paper towels to wipe up water spilled by the dog. Made paper towel black with filth. Room rate was great. Overall, satisfied.

I wasn’t too happy that the comforter on my bed had a blood stain. Even though it had been washed, it should have been thrown away. The wall by the toilet looked like it had feces on it.

Disliked that my insulin medication was thrown away by the housekeeping staff I returned to the hotel within a couple of hours of realizing I had left my medicine behind. Very upset about this situation.

The staff was friendly, the bed was quite comfortable, the price was reasonable. The only flaw is that the breakfast offerings were pretty meager, we ended up going elsewhere for breakfast on a couple days.

Sharing a pool on the other area and not having enough towels, both times that we went to use it. Also with the Continental breakfast offer, there was nothing for people with bariatric surgery who cannot have carbs or sugars so I was limited to eating nothing for breakfast

Staff was very friendly. Room was clean however the couch and mattress were a little outdated from frequent use. May be time to upgrade some of them. Overall , not a bad stay. The worst thing was the constant smell of marijuana in the stairwell. I don’t care what you do outside but obviously someone wasn’t considerate indoors.
