8.4/10 Very Good! (1,009 reviews)
The room and bath were very clean but no bath towels initially. Had to wait for the clerk to finish their break to get towels on our way back to the room. Our bath door was loose on check in but was fixed next day. Great bath with 4'x5' tile shower and quartz counter. Nice quiet location on dead end. Overall a very nice room with great 65" TV. Comfortable bed and pillows. Our only other issue was with the sports team that left at 5am on Sun morning. We wish they would have realized there were others on their floor. They literally pounded on numerous doors of their team mates to wake them, apparently. This is obviously not the hotels fault but people should have some consideration of others at that hour. This was the most expensive stay on our driving vaca but was a very nice quiet place. Overall value was good.
