8.2/10 Very Good! (5,176 reviews)

The room was a decent size, AC worked great, the TV was a smart TV which I don't think had cable. The front desk staff was extremely friendly, check in and out was a breeze. What I didn't like was that the rooms are cleaned once every three days. I much prefer daily maid service and fresh towels every day. Breakfast was included but we never went. The pool is quite small. Overall it served it's purpuse, a place to sleep. Next time though, I may go to a hotel that offers daily maid service instead.
