Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I didn’t like this property at all. My room had two queen beds and the room was so small, the beds took up all of the space, and there was nowhere to move around, or sit. When I inquired about moving rooms, the front office staff was very unhelpful and when I asked to be moved to a sister hotel that had more room in their rooms, I was told that was not possible because I did book directly through the hotel, I booked through Expedia. basically, everything I inquired about, everything I asked for, I was declined, and my stay was subpar.

It was a good stay for a family of 5 with kids under 11. Has playground for kids to enjoy. Safe neighborhood. Good parking choices. Clean areas. They do daily housekeeping especially if requested which is awesome. Staff were approachable and kind . Our concern was the breakfast choices (it is not free which is okay given there is a restaurant inside and can avail good price on check out), we just hope they have options for ‘non-pork eater’. Turkey substitutes for bacon and sausage links will be a few good choices. We just hope it can be offered. Overall a good stay. Thank you.
