7.4/10 Good! (792 reviews)

Staff was great. Room was welcoming. Little dust on counters but nothing a quick wipe down didn't fix. Shower curtain inside liner had mold stains but did not smell of or spread any. Bed was very comfortable especially considering I usually sleep on a Temper-Pedic. Breakfast was pretty good: missing main attraction (aka waffles and pancakes), it could also use better fruit variety, and juice quality. Fitness room was well equipped for my needs. Overall, I'd definitely consider coming.

I would have given 5stars all around but for the empty body wash container attached to the wall in the shower.
