Great with a few issues
Service was great, all employees were kind and attentive. Room worked out well, just a few kinks. The mini fridge was unbalanced and was teetering when touched, and the shower drain seemed to not be doing a sufficient job as the water was going down the drain to keep it from standing in an inch of water. So little tidbits that make me feel petty and really had no effect on our stay, overall we were very happy with the room.

I spent 3 nights at this location and the first night we had no water and the days after that the toilet wouldn’t flush so we had to try multiple times or use the restroom on the first floor. I hope to receive a refund because even though I have stayed here before I don’t know that I would come back here again. Also it is very difficult to reach the entrance considering the lines at the local restaurants leading into the hotel area. Hopefully they can resolve these issues soon.

Could not easily get to the hotel due to a mass amount of cars in line for various fast food places. Also lot of people parked in the hotel parking lot hanging out in their cars and truck partying late into the night. Also ac unit in room was really loud rattling sounds and made it hard to sleep.
