I love the added little touches that were an "upgrade" for the room such as a standing desk and light that gives you the temperature of the room. Very clean, especially the pool which I find can be a hit or miss at a hotel. Staff was very friendly and able to answer any questions that I had about the stay. As someone who needed to be displaced from my home due to flooding and mold exposure, this was a very refreshing stay for me during this time. Thank you!
