Very Good

The room was relatively clean however the floors are buckling and uneven and chipped throughout. The pillows are odd little shaped things that are not too great for sleeping. The parking lot is dug up (it has been this way for many months according to other reviews). Two large carts of dirty linens were outside the door of a room near us ...all day and night. The rate was quite high for what was provided. There is an additional $25 room fee which made no sense. Would never stay here again given the price and the condition (the photos are deceiving)
I would have given 5 stars, but there is construction going on outside (they're working to improve). The staff was very friendly and I found the room clean and nice. I would stay there again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and smelled clean. The front desk receptionist was nice but the lobby had an unwelcoming smell. I was nervous about the room on arrival and almost left but it turned out to be safe and quiet. They had a nice and simple continental breakfast, packaged pastries, bananas and coffee. To me that was perfect.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room was clean and the management was very nice. The current remodeling of the pool made for difficult parking, but that will be remedied upon completion.
