Day/night shift lady who checked us in (I believe her name was Sheryl) was very welcoming, patient while I was looking for my card, and let us know about local things happening in the area. Breakfast buffet was good! Staff kept everything well stocked. Pool wasn’t heated the first night but I believe it was the second night (when we did not get to go swimming). Lots of shopping centers in the area. Property was well kept.

Our room was very clean, big, and the beds and sheets were comfortable. We had a problem with the a/c tripping the circuit on the cord, but the staff came in and showed us how to fix it if it happened again… which it did. The breakfast and coffee were great! The only negatives were that the outside garbage was always overfilled and the bathroom caulking looked like a kindergartner did it!

Hotel was showing some wear and tear. Very stuffy air in the lobby and elevator area. Hotel room was clean and spacious, clean. Even though there was convenient grocery shops nearby, this was not an area I would recommend staying - there were drug users visibly using on the sidewalk and homelessness on the corners outside the hotel. I didn't love this hotel for a family stay.

The hotel is clean, its around many areas to eat. The breakfast was good. Our issue was our upstairs neighbor for many hours was stomping around nonstop making it difficult to sleep. If we weren't already in bed and our stuff out, id have asked to move. The bed wasnt very comfortable either. In the end it was for only 1 night and was clean with a nice breakfast.
