Booked for the pool for one night and it was great. Accommodating staff and easy check in/out. Staying with 2 toddlers and staff was great. Maintenance man even helped clean up a spilled drink which he did not have to do. Would stay again! Only downside was the room seemed to get pretty hot before air kicked on and then get cold. Not huge deal, but would have brought an extra blanket for the kiddos.

Pleasantly Surprised
Manny thanks to KJ for making our check in experience a pleasant one. Our room was clean, comfortable and easy to access from the elevator-fantastic! Wonderful daily breakfast spread available to start your day, and fresh free coffee and tea 24 hours a day. So pleased I decided to book the stay here, and thank you to all the staff for a lovely experience!
