Not great for families with kids and a dog. Room was smaller than expected and the ceilings were damaged and the carpet was dirty. View out the window was concrete slab. This is a good Airport layover hotel. Breakfast was overpriced and I thought it was complimentary breakfast each day but just for one day. One of the elevators was out of service and the pool area felt clinical.
