The property was nice, clean and had usable amenities. The only snag was they could not make a room key for me and several other visitors. We waited 30 minutes before they decided to just let us into our rooms with their room access. We had to ask someone to re-enter our room or access the secured areas. The staff were incredibly nice about letting us in, but we found it very inconvenient.

The hotel was nice and staff very friendly, we enjoyed our stay aside from the bathroom odor that was barely tolerable but for sleeping purposes, its a good option. The mini fridge froze our food rather than keep it cold so that was a negative and the room could use a bigger fridge for the sizes of the room.
