Staff were kind and helpful. It was clean and comfortable. I felt safe. Breakfast was good and the restaurant service was outstanding. The location was convenient. We to theme parks from here. There are plenty of things to do in the area. It rained and we had to do indoor activities one day. Within 10 min, there was a movie theatre, go karting/racing, painting/axe throwing. Stores and restaurants are plentiful in the area. I would definitely stay again. Yes, I recommend it; especially if you have a family.
