Liked: Staff & service
Staff was great to accommodate early check in. The room was ok, not a 5 star by any means..lol! But it was fine, over priced for what you got. The water was super hot though and the bed was comfy. Just the cleaning staff was obnoxiously loud at 8am in the room next to ours, and the worker guys staying there were also ridiculously loud! But over all it wasn’t the worst ever.

Rooms have been recently renovated and are clean and had everything I needed. It was quiet also. Staff at front desk as well as Maintenance folks were great to deal with. So overall good value. Outside/Grounds could use some sprucing up. And missed having fridge having freezer compartment to freeze my ice-pak. I enjoyed my stay.
