8.8/10 Excellent! (1,002 reviews)
3 stars because the bed and pillows were horrible.
Staff was super nice and helpful, room was very clean, including the bathtub being one of the cleanest I’ve seen, so much so I actually let my toddler take a bath instead of making her stand the whole time.
The bed was extremely uncomfortable. Not even just an issue of being too firm. Could tell it was an old mattress. Pillows were also horrible and one smelled like a wet dog. Would not stay here again unless they had new mattresses. Hubby could barely get out of bed next morning, and we’re in our 30’s 😳
