Amenities looked good but I didn't use any except the free pool table for a few balls while waiting for my wife (cue sticks could use new tips). Place is clean and the staff friendly and helpful.
Minor grievances: would like better lighting controls. Bathroom area all on or all off, and bedroom area all on or all off doesn't always work.

Everything was pretty good for the most part. The only complaints I have was that the air was really dry in the room, it seemed like the temperature control device was not working because it barely changed the temp in the room, and there were no garbage bags on the garage bins. The staff was great and helpful, and the other guests were also very nice and helpful. Maybe it was the specific room that we were in. I'd def stay here again and just hope to not run into the same issue.
