The room was very clean and recently renovated. Only issue was the desk check in people told us breakfast started at 7:30 when it started at 6. Also we were there for three nights which meant no housekeeping. So we could never get any more coffee and trash was overflowing. But it was very quiet and extremely well appointed.

Pros: -Clean sheets/pillows/towels. -Separate spaces to wash up, sleep, watch tv, do work, and eat. -Iron, ironing board, laundry basket, hair dryer, extra pillows, and lots of towels for hand/face/body were available. -Ice bucket/coffee maker/tea and coffee were also nice to have. -Enjoyed breakfast and the option to take out or dine in as well as the variety of food/drinks. -Pool/hot tub area had plenty of chairs, relaxing! -Elevator/ice machine/gate access to back parking lot were all within short distance, convenient. -Staff were very friendly/helpful. Cons: -shower head was old/rusted/not adjustable/ripped thin shower curtains/only shampoo and bar soap available. -spider wandered into bed.
