ring around the swimming pool, looked like the sides had not been cleaned in some time.

forgot the tell everyone there was an additional pet fee

and front desk didnt have the right amount of people for the room and didn’t have us in a pet friendly room

paperwork said $20 for pet fee was charged $30 thus didn't tip housekeeping what i normally would

elevator made it easy to take our dog outside for a quick night time visit grassy area for pets

and we where charged more for our pet fee than is stated on bookings we had to pay 30

free parking

price it would've been nice/helpful to have a complimentary breakfast- especially traveling with kids

minor nit-picky things: we had to park in the restaurant's parking lot next door because there were no more spots in the evening and the doors swung opposite

the happy hour was ok, but very busy with lots of kids running around

plus the free drinks and heavy appetizers were perfect for our kids that were more interested in swimming than dining out for supper

the happy hour that served food and 3 alcoholic drinks. and breakfast

the social hour and amazing breakfast! my kids loved the pool as well.

the pools were smaller than i expected, and filled with kids, but it wasn't a big deal to us.

breakfast options could of been better but at least it was offered

anyway, they do exist, so of indoor pool and fitness center are important to you, this could be a good choice for you

the wifi for my ps5 didnt work. smelled like weed. the beds weren't soft they were very firm.

not working properly and unsafe parking lot

i had just stayed a whole week and they charged me no pet fee when i came back she went out to my car and looked at my car and saw my dog came back and

the only negative was the $25 pet fee, but even with that, it was a good value compared to competitors

pet fee seemed high.

the laundry staff was very helpful

had a rather noisy hvac unit, and i thought we must be near the laundry as we could hear what sounded like a washing machine agitating at various times

clean, pool, nice big room & great bed

wonderful large (cold) indoor pool and hot tub - that was the draw (10/23/24) i'm adding the date because it took 5 phone calls

and the staff was very responsive to one cleanliness issue i pointed out to them in the pool/spa area

nice bar to have a few drinks and mingle and an in-room mini bar and snacks

liked they honored the quiet times i also enjoyed that there were almost no kids

friendly staff, clean guest laundry center

the laundry room that is on site, dryer doesn't work very well

the lady that checked me in was friendly and i was allowed an early check in

rate...early check in

i called the front desk to ask about laundry facilities

we used to find quality inn said $10 pet fee

they charged me multiple times for the pet fee and when i called, the guy said he’d look into it and never got back to me

pet fee i thought was high at $20 per pet, most places charge less and room was a little more then

guest laundry

nice pool

wonderful kitchen, nice facility, perfect location for our stay

hotel and great facilities, including full kitchen, nice gym and pool, very nice staff and pet friendly

virus of course stopped the usual breakfast fare, but the staff went well above and provided us with a decent enough breakfast

as for the amenities, i could tell all the kids thoroughly enjoyed the pool

worst part was this hotel has kitchenettes but no pots, pans, etc
