9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,639 reviews)
Loved having a parking garage available. Having a dog area was great. Nice location with a movie theater right across the street. Hotel in a very safe area. Pressure on shower was excellent. Breakfast choices were very good. Refrigerator with a freezer was a tremendous amenity. Wonderful hotel except decor was tired. Also, the tranquilly of our room of three days was compromised by having the pool room directly below our room. Better design should have been done since hotel is charging full price for a room with a constant loud droning noise below it. Hotel should know this. Our family would stay here again BUT not in room 1119.
