Very easy check in. Never had a need to go to the office! There are no room cards. They text you with code for keyless entry! They text you in the mornings to ask if you need housekeeping. The rooms are huge. We got the 3 beds in the rooms and we were all very Z coming Mmmm a

Staff is always great and rooms are always clean. We love staying here when we visit the area. I have never had an issues before but this time around the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Hotel was sold out so I didn’t have an option to switch rooms or upgrade.

Room was clean. Staff was nice. However, air planes flew over and could hear all sounds from other rooms. Perhaps it's good place for low-budget family with kids.
