Conveniently located
Parking was strange because of the way it’s labeled; either truck parking or no SUV parking. Pull out couch was not comfortable, but the beds were. The kids enjoyed the pool. Breakfast was really good. Staff was mostly nice. Bathroom was small but clean.

Decent option for budget-minded families.
Overall a great economical option for sports families. A few things in our room were issues - drawers wouldn’t stay closed, the heater was quite loud when it kicked on (loud enough to wake light sleepers). One significant thing was the start time of 7am for breakfast. For families like ours that need to leave the hotel by 7, breakfast wasn’t an option.

The manager at the front is very rude and has no personality whatsoever. He could Not help us with a single question that we asked him. Our jet bathtub was dirty and so was the bathroom. When paying extra money for a jet tub and balcony room, you’d think that the hotel would at least clean properly.

The sink is in the bedroom so that was different. Everything else was as advertised and the room was in good condition. I don't have any complaints, not even small ones. I could not figure out the heating in the room & did not ask, but I brought warm clothes so I was prepared for the cold winter weather anyways.
