The king room with sofa was pretty good size. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. My kids enjoyed the indoor swimming pool and hot tub. The staff was helpful and friendly. The hot continental breakfast was good and had several options to choose from. We'd stay here again if we're ever in this area again.

After getting off the elevator the hallway smelled so good I couldn’t help but feel so relaxed. The room was clean and even better than a previous stay at another hotel that was more expensive. I feel I definitely got my money’s worth.
