The hotel room was perfect, staff were amazing, we did have to leave a day early due to unforseen reasons and I did get the refund for the night! Couldn't ask for a better experience!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Breakfast had a variety of great items. I didn’t have to eat the same thing every day of my stay. Staff was beyond excellent. So friendly and helpful
Room was neat and clean with lots of towels
The staff was friendly. Check in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. The food and drinks from the restaurant were great. Would stay again if in the area.
Breakfast was not free 16.00. Which I new. It was a buffet type all you can eat. Cant beat the price . Same breakfast 30.00 next door.Rooms were clean ,fresh, comfortable beds. Restaurant downstairs Beni
Appreciated pet friendly and room service. Clean and quiet.
My only negative is the locks on doors. They were very delayed with recognizing the key cards. When you are outside at midnight potting a dog I want that door to open quickly and not be fussing with it trying to get it to recognize it.
Staff was very nice and attentive, room was clean with pretty clean towels, bed was comfortable. Only thing I wish was provided was a free complimentary breakfast
Everything was good till I had to leave for a family emergency and got bounced between the hotel and hotels.com to see if I could refund one night since my plan was to stay the whole trip but obviously couldn’t due to family emergency. The lady we got at the hotel to talk to the manager was very rude and unpleasant. The rest of staff was great.
