Property was very convenient for us during my daughter's soccer tournament. Room was great large space a bit dated but overall great, suite had mini kitchenet and worked great for us. Continental breakfast was good, and the kids enjoyed the options, then could have more toasters available so we are not waiting. Overall would definitely stay here again with my family.
