We stayed there for a couple of nights. Room was very clean and comfortable. We had our dog with us and they were very accommodating. There are many dining and shopping options in the area, some are walkable. We will be staying here again in the future.

I’ve used this hotel before and it has been good. This time I had some issues. I woke up in the middle of the night with ants on me!! They quickly changed rooms but that affected my sleep obviously. Then we had a second room that we had trouble getting out of because the electronic lock wouldn’t u lock.

If you’re going with your family, particularly if you have a dog, this is a great place to stay. There are good walking paths nearby Starbucks, restaurants etc. Very convenient and a decent enough gym. Wish it had a little bit more but we will definitely be staying there again.
