The first room I was in had the same type of living room suite as shown in the online pictures, faced south and got plenty of light. It was lovely! The problem for me was the walk-in shower instead of the bathtub/shower combo as advertised. Turns out room 214 had just been remodeled. If you like a walk-in shower, this is the room for you! However, as I was staying for multiple days and prefer a bathtub I asked to be moved to another suite. I was moved the next day to a suite with a jetted tub/shower combo. The only downside was this suite faced north and did not get much light.

The staff was very friendly/helpful and the room was nice and clean! We loved the location and the bed was so comfortable. Would’ve been 5 stars but the ceiling fan was super dirty and there was food splatter on the wall where the trashcan was placed. I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully soon ❤️.

I was there at 4:00pm to check in but the room was not ready until 4:35pm. The clerk apologized and said the manager would give me a discount. I checked out, no discount. Also, the continental breakfast was coffee and tea. That was it.
