The hotel was nice and staff very friendly, we enjoyed our stay aside from the bathroom odor that was barely tolerable but for sleeping purposes, its a good option. The mini fridge froze our food rather than keep it cold so that was a negative and the room could use a bigger fridge for the sizes of the room.

Do NOT USE Expedia as your 3rd party to book this hotel. We booked a double room and paid for a double room. When we arrived to the location they said there wasn’t anything they could do and Expedias description wasn’t updated. So they had to give me a single queen room.

The cost was great for summer pricing. With the cheaper cost comes some downfalls on what our family is use to. Our main issue was not being able to turn the television on for our child and having to get assistance, the beds were so hard and much smaller than we typically get so it was an adjustment, but im all about feeling clean and the bathroom was definitely rushed to be cleaned for us (hair all over the floors around the sink and when turning on the shower you were in ankle deep water in under a minute. However with all this the front desk was very fast with fixing the issues while we were out for the day. Overall it was a good stay, just not entirely sure our family would stay at this location unless i take a look at our rooms first. For being a hilton member ive been in much more comfortable and clean rooms.

Took 30 minutes to check in then they charge $50 fee in case I use the restaurant or bar. I told him I was not going to use either one, but they still said I had to leave a $50 fee. I do not think this is legal. What if I want to pay cash for the bar or restaurant this was a terrible experience and I will never be back
