The staff were very nice. Good free breakfast! They didn't clean our room ( we were there for two nights). Not sure if we needed to request or if they forgot.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (927 reviews)

Upon arrival, I found out their wifi was out; they were waiting for a part. The pool was closed for servicing. My room was clean and comfortable, but the walls are thin. My neighbor had the loudest TV. I was surprised to have a neighbor, as the hotel seemed pretty empty. The staff was very nice, the hotel felt safe, and breakfast was good.
