Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It’s in a convenient location to the attractions and dinning.
Hotel was very clean and bright, appeared to be freshly renovated. Check in and checkout was fast and efficient. I would recommend the check in going full digital but that was the only improvement in efficiency that I notice during my one night stay.

I did not get the room I had reserved took the discount for a regular room but it was still disappointing. These are great hotel chains but this location did not impress me, maybe the hot breakfast did. The website I used to reserve the room is false? It states you will be charged when you arrive at the property but that wasnt the case this hotel tried to charge my card 12 hours before hand, it was a shame it was declined or "red flagged" as a possible fraudulent charge I mean I used the card no problem in my state but when it tried to pay 5 states away I guess they didnt buy that to well. I have to wonder if I allowed my card to be charged before hand would I got the room I reserved? I just didnt feel as relaxed as I do when at Holiday Express and I used them evertime we go out of area.
Wasn’t happy about the room above us the person got in hot tub about 10:15 pm and it ran for about 45 minutes, then next nite about the same time ran for 30 minutes, then the next morning they were in it at 6:00. The evening times we were awake but Saturday morning was awakened by the noise, they are very noisy
