Pros +

  • Close by family members houses.
  • This was the perfect stay, plus we had our dog. This hotel is dog-friendly. The room was spacious. They had snack vending machines on all floors. This included drinks as well. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised. Highly recommend this hotel.
  • Comfortable and good location

Cons -

  • We travel with disabilty child. Front hotel doesnt monitor people with disable placard. People park anywhere. I was disappointed, people have no consideration.
  • Our sinks in the bathroom drained very slow
  • I was 4 nights with my family and never cleaned room in any time. I think is unacceptable nobody controls role cleaning

The staff was very attentive & helpful.

It’s in the parking lot of a restaurant that has outdoor bands playing until 10pm on the weekends.
