The Continental breakfast was good, shirt drive to parks but overall dingy accomodations, room felt slightly damp from humidity. Someone with a key card, assuming staff, attempted to enter our room while we were sleeping. The top latch was fastened so they couldn't enter all the way but it was unsettling.

Our Jr Suite was very spacious and comfy. There was a lot of storage, and I really liked the shower. Breakfast was amazing with so many choices! I also liked that they had drinks, iced coffee and snacks for sale in the lobby. Though I didn't use the pool, we did enjoy sitting poolside in the morning. I will stay here again.

Everything was excellent. It was clean and the staff was pleasant. The pool is open until 11 which is a bonus. Parking is free, another added bonus because many of the neighboring hotels charge per night. The breakfast was also good and included in the stay and there was plenty to choose from. I gave a 4 on property and facilites because my sink has a leak which I realized after there was a puddle of water on the floor and my remote control didn’t work.
