Everything was excellent. It was clean and the staff was pleasant. The pool is open until 11 which is a bonus. Parking is free, another added bonus because many of the neighboring hotels charge per night. The breakfast was also good and included in the stay and there was plenty to choose from. I gave a 4 on property and facilites because my sink has a leak which I realized after there was a puddle of water on the floor and my remote control didn’t work.
