9.2/10 Wonderful! (927 reviews)
Upon arrival, I found out their wifi was out; they were waiting for a part. The pool was closed for servicing. My room was clean and comfortable, but the walls are thin. My neighbor had the loudest TV. I was surprised to have a neighbor, as the hotel seemed pretty empty. The staff was very nice, the hotel felt safe, and breakfast was good.

Our room was very clean and comfortable. It was really nice having a full size frig & freezer plus a kitchen sink. The room had a dining table with two chairs and a recliner. Only problem we had was a slow draining tub/shower and it certainty wasn't a deal breaker. I thought the price was very reasonable.

There was a lot of confusion about my 2 day stay during checkin. I originally booked one night, then. A few days later booked a second night. I just wanted to keep the same room but the process seemed to be confusing. I still have yet to go back for day 2 as I am at an appointment right now
