Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Clean and staff is nice. Kinda frustrating to be charged full price with notice the hot tub and pool are closed not served until we get in the elevator.

Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort
Just a very weird place as to layout and very little good food available in vacinity
Close to freeway but quieter than some right next to freeway. Decent restaurant selection 5-10 mn into town. Great for dogs, plenty of grassy areas to walk and do their business.
