Very nice facility and super friendly staff! Room was large and much nicer than we expected, plenty of room to stretch out. Pool area was clean with lots of seating but the size of the pool was smaller than most. Overall all a great experience and would stay again!

The staff were all very welcoming and pleasant! However, the room lacked darkening curtains, which meant that the parking lot lights made the room incredibly bright all night and, thus, made it difficult to sleep.
