The hotel itself was very nice and clean. The area around the hotel was nice as well. The restaurant was convenient but the food was not very good. No one was at the front desk when we arrived. We were not told about a $25 credit for each day of our stay. I found out about that when I got an Expedia email on our 2nd day. The bed was hard and the room was hot. We did enjoy the shower. We will not stay here again.

Facilities are very nice except room whose needs repairs especially lighting. Was awakened from sleep by someone lying on carpet right with back against outside of my unit taking incessantly outside my room at 11:30 pm. Finally told him to move which he did. I liked the room and the price (and the other guests dogs very much
