My family of 5 loved this hotel. The room was very clean and spacious. The 2 kind of down sides were that the couch pullout bed was super uncomfortable and the shower was slow draining. Everyone loved the breakfast! The best free hotel breakfast we've had.

We stayed May 29th for the Pitbull concert nearby. the rooms was great but the bathroom lock was missing the button, so we had to push it in with our nail. The lock worked and we were only there for night so we didn't feel like going down and complain just for a small thing. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and was open pretty late.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was clean except for mold in the bathroom. The staff was very friendly but didn't know what a roll-away bed was. The hotel states they have rollaways and cribs for $15, but none were available. Parking was excellent and breakfast was absolutely delicious.

Everything was great from check in to breakfast. The only issue I had was having to get my key fixed cause it wouldn’t work to either let me in my room or the back entry. It would only open either the room door or the entry door never both.
