Ups and downs

Air conditioning and shower pressure/heat were good. Breakfast had a good vairiety of options and I always enjoy freshly made waffles. The pool looked green and uninviting. Our shower curtain had mold. Beds weren't overly comfortable.

Windows in our room were cracked. The industrial clothes dryer cycle on and off too frequently in the evening and nighttime causing a loud rumble. The refrigerator in our room did not close properly so the unit did not cool even though it ran continuously. The grounds were mowed but weeds should be pulled from the areas near the building that are covered with rocks. On a good note, the lobby is nice and the breakfast was more than we expected.

The beds were very comfortable and my wife and I both slept well. There is plenty of food options in the area that are easy to get to. We will definitely stay there the next we are in the area. The room and property were very clean and in good working order. The breakfast was as good as you can expect from a properly in this price range.

Large room, which we had requested. Close-in parking with easy access, good luggage carts and elevator. The downside for us was that, although the room was large, it was woefully under-furnished. In particular was the lack of any flat surfaces to set luggage on, nor were any luggage racks available. They brought us one bench to use, but with 4 suitcases, that hardly does it. So, we used one of the two queen beds for luggage laydown area. Also, the door handle for the bathroom was broken, so if one closed the door from the inside, you were stuck in there until someone on the outside let you out; so, we had to always leave the door open partway. And finally, the electrical outlet at the bar sink did not appear to have any GFCI protection; there was no GFCI breaker at the receptacle, it did not work off the bathroom GFCI, and it was not labeled as being on a GFCI breaker; so, not feeling safe to use it, we went to a local hardware store and bought our own GFCI power strip ($25, took it home with us) so we could use the location for the coffee maker. Beyond those issues, which we adapted to, the room was reasonably clean and comfortable and met our needs well.
