I’m sad that I go downgraded upon arrival because the room I paid for “wasn’t ready yet” even though it was several hours after the check in time.

Nice safe area, walkable. Close drive to the things we wanted to do. Pool area closed off so not able to go outside to sit and relax. VERY expensive bottles of water in room, could buy a whole case with lots of change left over from Walmart for this price. Bathroom door was a joke! Noisy and hard to close. Room and facilities were very clean. Would not stay here again for the price. Valet parking was a pain and continually having to tip each time you picked up or dropped off your car.
