Good family stay
We had a quick one-night stay here and everything was great. Clean, comfortable and had a nice little grassy area we could take our dog. The $75 pet fee seemed high - especially staying for just one night. Location was convenient for shopping and dining.

Considerate staff
The hotel staff was very polite and considerate. I had requested 1st or 2nd floor. They explained putting me on 3rd floor because several members of sports team were on first two floors. I was very appreciative.
