Friendly staff, very clean facilities. Nice pool and spa (that works). Upgraded amenities and one of the most comfortable bed and pillow I have ever slept on in any hotel! Relatively easy access to local stores and dining with both main interstate highways next to the hotel. It’s near the airport but it was pretty quiet at night. Single elevator and small. Off season so prices were very good. Overall a great place to stay. We prefer IHG Holiday Inn Express for these reasons. Highly recommend the hotel.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We were not notified that the elevator was not working, we got booked on the third floor even though I asked nicely to the front desk staff if she could move us to ground floor and she said she could not that if we wanted to leave we can look for another hotel, I think that was extremely rude and unprofessional, the front desk staff was just live-less and somewhat seem robotic, we had traveled 8 hours from Arizona to be received that way with no form of consideration to our needs she just shrugged it off. A little more of training and empathy that is what they need. The breakfast staff saved the day, I will have to say the ladies there were so nice to everyone always smiling and eager to help in whatever anyone needed.

Everything was excellent except that I received one day before of my stay an email saying that the elevator didn't work, so we made a lot exercise those days, we were in the third floor. The staff was always very friendly, the breakfast was great, the rooms comfortable and clean, the pool was heated it was a great plus. The hotel had an excellent location, we were close of everything we made.

The furniture was bad shape, sofa was torn and discolored. And for some weird reason they had an inch of gap under the door to my room, so that I could hear everything going on in the hotel. Having my room right next to the drain didn't help either. Not to mention the big aircon unit INSIDE the room. Oh and the elevators were no working but my room was only on the first floor, so can't really complain. Although the property itself was actually decent, but the neighborhood was definitely sketchy.
