Clean, snacks available, spacious, good value, staff very helpful and courteous.

First room fully wet rug, this wasn’t great disappointing. We request to be moved to a better dry rug room. Wine was not available at the snack hut even though was advertised. Dish detergent was not available we had to buy our own. There was no soap at the sink for hand wash?!? Also this is the 3rd time we stay here, at the very entrance of the driveway there is a huge pothole on the pavement that has not been repaired in the last three years this is pathetic!? Where is the facility maintenance guy?!? If this is not repair, we well not stay at this hotel anymore it does not give me a good feeling if dignity.

Large bathroom, functional kitchen, well stocked with appliances and supplies, comfortable bed.

Would love to see larger trash cans, more bath towels and extra facial tissues given that the rooms aren't cleaned & restocked unless you stay longer than 5 days.

The staff and location were excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, but there was a strong musty smell, possibly from the air conditioning. The water took a little longer to get hot in the bathroom but otherwise all was good.

The location was nice and hidden from loud traffic.

I had to switch rooms because the first one smelled like cooking grease. The receptionist switched my room without issues. I appreciate that.

Room was nice bed comfortable and full size refrigerator. Pool and gym nice

.Upon check in, they gave us a smaller size room than I reserved. We had to pay extra to get the room size we wanted. The handicap shower didn't drain correctly spilling water into the bathroom making it very dangerous and slippery for me. Also keys entry was broken.

Good size utility suite. The safety feature of the time-control dial to prevent overheating of the stovetop.

As a utility suite, a kettle would be necessary to make tea or cup noodles. As well a small oven would come in heady for reheating of pizza or meat etc.

Nicely laid out, laundry was free! Pool area was clean and staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The garbage collection area was about 100 feet from front door. Either dumpster was too small or the area needs more cleaning then is scheduled. Atrocious. No reinforcement of the rule ‘no dogs aloud at pool’

Our room was excellent! Nice and clean, no bugs, bed was comfortable, will definitely come back.

The reconstruction, but have to have to make it nice again.
