It was amazing and family friendly. It was exactly what my family needed, it was really a home away from home. The staff were so friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast. The cleaning including changing of bedings were done everyday.

We were surprised that this hotel received such good reviews on Hotels.com. We were quite disappointed by our experience at this hotel. The room was extremely small for our family of four, even with just small, overnight duffle bags. We were directly above the smoking area, which was disgusting! Consequently we couldn’t open our windows for fresh air. There was mold on our shower curtain. And there were long black hairs on our bed. Unfortunately, these issues were extremely problematic for our family as 3 of us have asthma and one family member is severely allergic to mold, requiring a monthly biologic treatment.
