10/10 Exceptional

Wish the parking was different so the front entrance to check in wasn’t around the side of the building, but other than that everything was great. Check in was easy and quick. I realized my room lights weren’t working and they had it fixed within less than 10 minutes! Super clean and cozy.

10/10 Exceptional

Booked for the pool for one night and it was great. Accommodating staff and easy check in/out. Staying with 2 toddlers and staff was great. Maintenance man even helped clean up a spilled drink which he did not have to do. Would stay again! Only downside was the room seemed to get pretty hot before air kicked on and then get cold. Not huge deal, but would have brought an extra blanket for the kiddos.
