Summary: Fine for one nights stay, but some safety concerns and smells would make me not recommend for a long stay. The gentleman at the front desk and the housekeeping staff were quick and efficient when we asked for extra stuff, or asked questions, especially prior to arriving. The only negative was the printer did not work when we checked out, which was ok because the receipt was emailed, but hurt us because I was going to print my wife's boarding passes, and it turned into a 45 minute ordeal to handle that elsewhere. The room smelled fine when we checked in, but when it was time to go to bed, the room smelled badly (like cigarette smoke). I think there was smoke in the air conditioning unit, as it had not been running until we adjusted the temperature and turned the fan to on for white noise and air circulation. We had 4 in our party, and we had 3 towels until I asked for more. The sliding glass door lock was primitive (bar) but functional once we figured it out, but was unlocked when we arrived. ** Had we not opened it, we might have had the door unlocked the entire time we were there, so that is a concern. ** However, the pillows and beds were clean and quite comfortable. The internet and TV worked well. The pool was quite cold, but appeared clean and well maintained. The parking lot and hallways were well-lit and felt safe. The door locks to the hallways were always functional. In short, the room and facilities were clean and functional and sufficient for a nights stay, but I would not have wanted to stay for multiple days for a vacation.
