Good clean property and rooms. Although it’s pet friendly, there’s no dedicated place for dogs to use the bathroom. Had to walk blocks away to find grassy area. AC in room worked, but if you have a little one in the pullout it blasts them first and directly. Kind of a poor room design.

Property was nice and staff were great. The indoor heated pool was nice but was way over capacity. People had the back door propped out and it felt like people not staying at the hotel were swimming. There was about 50 people all from one family there making it miserable for my family.

Typical American-style hotel! It's not bad in many ways, but it seems that the characteristics of the American hotel are inevitable that they are bothered by the noise between floors! It's up to luck
