The breakfast was amazing, there were so many options! The staff were very nice and check in was fast and easy. The pool is really neat because it's indoor outdoor. The room was clean and the bed was fine just like a normal hotel bed. The room was also neat because it had a door outside and inside and you could park right in front of your room.

Front desk stuff was amazingly helpful and very engaging when we arrived.And when we checked out. We stayed here two years ago I knew it would be the perfect place to stay again. I liked being able to park right outside of the door.

Just okay

There was no mention of the nearby train that ran every night. Also for the cost of the room per night it was just okay not great condition. Both exit doors had to be secured with a towel so the heat wouldn't come in around the cracks/ openings.
