The service was excellent. The complentrary breakfast was great! The pool was closed for maintenance. That was disappointing but I understand that it happens. There were people in the parking lot outside our room being very loud at 3am. Security around the property would be a nice touch. For what it was ... It was fine. We'd go back.

It's a clean property. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Included breakfast was nicely done and provided good value for a simple hotel. Staff was courtesy. It was pretty noisy. Maybe understandably since there were alot of families with kids. My room faced the pool and alot of screaming families at the pool til late at night and screaming again starting at 7AM. Since I was a solo traveler I should have asked for a room facing the front of hotel versus the pool for this reason.

Overall room was clean but the outside noise is fairly loud. Quite expensive for the amenities and thin walls. It’s convenient free parking but limited places to dine within walking distance.
