Tyler, Jul 2023
We stayed here for 2 out of the 5 days of our trip and loved it. In fact we regretted not staying there the whole trip because it was so much better than the other hotel we stayed at. We got the 2 queen suite and had plenty of space for us and the baby. Our room was clean, the staff were friendly, and the breakfast was good enough to start our day.

Pros (+) Great location, professional staff, nice pool area.
Cons (-) This is a dated bare bones IHG property, no vending other than a beverage machine that wasn't working, offers no on-site concessions, a non-working thermostat and intermittent satellite TV signal.

Pros (+) Location was central to everything. Breakfast was hot and good variety of food.
Cons (-) Too noisy at night. Me and my family were kept up by a noisy neighbors who were drunk, screaming, and banging on the doors from 12am-430am. Horrible!! I had to call the police and hotel management, but it didn't help much. We had a big headache in the morning. Ruined our next day.
