It was good. We booked it because it was close to airport. Wasn’t too happy that the cabs were parked a short distance away and we had to walk to them, but all in all it was a good place to stay.

This property is undergoing renovations, which I understand is essential, but informing guests who are sleeping directly underneath is not too much to ask. Housekeeping was lacking and many of the door openers for accessibility don’t work.

Not sure what qualifies as "excellent". Frankly I don't need to spend an extra $200 a night to have swan shaped towels. In my 5 city multi week trip this was my favorite hotel more so then the more expensive ones. Far and away (unintentional pun) the best sleep with the comfiest bed compared to the others. Short distance to downtown back and forth at around $16.50 each way. When I compared with others on Expedia it was almost 1/2 the price of the downtown chains. So our saving more than covered Uber and went towards activities.

Parents Take Note!! Pool slide is ONLY open on weekends! During the week the hotel wasn't busy so we ended up with pool to ourselves (and our kids) most nights. Laundry - don't use the dryer near the far wall - it doesn't work well and will cost you a fortune! Staff was friendly and accommodating, room was clean. We opted for this more affordable hotel and used the “saved” funds to rent a vehicle.

Staff were wonderful are this property and every time you were greeted with friendliness. Shout out to Joshua on the first day and Karen on the last. Check in and check out were a breeze. Pros: -Staff were kind and welcoming -Kids eat free with adult -Room was clean and daily housekeeping were nice -Laundry facilities available Cons: -Internet is very spotty sometimes non-existent -The pool is very cold and would benefit guests if heated -Breakfast service is not impressive. Even though guests are able to opt for breakfast, service should not lack since there’s gratuity (lunch and dinner service staff are amazing)

Bed sheet was dirty, asked house keeping for new one and was given a thin hospital like blanket to sleep with. There was stains on the walls and the stair wells were filthy. The pool was nice, but the gym wasnt kept clean there was multiple cups left and not picked up from the night prior.
