The 1-bedroom suites are the size of a condo. It was quiet, had free washer and dryer available, a stove top. The area has many good restaurants. Attached to the Holiday Inn. So, you get use of their nice workout room and pool. This is excellent for long stays.

The room was spacious, but the sink wouldn't drain the whole way due to how it was installed With spending close to $1200 for 3 nights and finding out breakfadt isn't included, was pretty bad. To make it worse, they suggested we could go nect door to Holiday Inn for their buffet for about $8 but turned out to be $11.95!

Rude employees with no customer service skills. The room was unclean, the smell was horrible, the noise level from a group of kids playing drums on buckets outside until the late night was unacceptable (the hotel staff didn’t care and did nothing about it), the area has changed to an unsafe feeling, the parking was far from the entrance, the pool area had rust and mold on the ceiling and walls and doors, and the fridge had a horrible fish smell that the staff said was from the cleaning agent they use. Don’t stay here. Find another place. We will never stay here again.
