I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. However, I found some issues with the room cleanliness and maintenance that need addressing. The breakfast options were limited, and unfortunately, the pool experience left much to be desired, particularly due to my daughter's hair issue.

I had a pretty good stay at this newer property. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but I did find the breakfast choices lacking variety. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re near the Research Park area, but I hope they improve the breakfast for my next visit.

I had a really disappointing experience at this hotel. The room was not only dirty but also had a strong smell of Axe body spray that gave me a headache. On the bright side, the staff were friendly and tried their best to help, but I had issues with the plumbing and a malfunctioning TV that couldn't be fixed. Overall, while the location was decent for my plans, I wouldn't recommend staying here.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, which was a plus, but there were issues with cleanliness that really affected my stay. The service was friendly, but I found the overall communication lacking. While the location was convenient for my needs, I wouldn't recommend trying the pool based on my kids' reaction after swimming. Overall, it had its good moments, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
