I like that there was a pool in the employees were very helpful and nice very clean rooms were very clean and comfortable
I paid for the room on booking.com and it said it came with breakfast but the lady that was serving the breakfast charged me but when I talked to the front desk the lady said they forgot to give me the breakfast coupon and they were supposed to refund me the money and she never did. Not sure what happened there

Very clean and good value
The bed was very comfortable and room was clean. The fold out couch was very uncomfortable and had springs sticking out. My 5year old daughter wouldn't even sleep on it.
