9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
The room was clean, Bed was comfortable, Shower pressure was good, room size was excellent, can just use an update to a more modern look and have a better layout of the room. I didn't get to use the pool or gym when I was there. The location good as well. But well worth the money compared to other hotels in the area.
