Staff is friendly. Location is great. We were able to check in earlier than expected. Pool is decent. We received a complimentary appetizer to restaurant next door and 10% discount on meal as a guest. However, we were unable to use it due to wait time when we went. Parking is horrible due to spaces being used by customers at restaurant which takes up the guest spaces. The room was just ok. Bed was very hard. The towel rack in bathroom kept falling down when removing a towel. The toilet needed cleaning better. There was one tiny trash can in the bathroom and no where to hang towels or clothing.
