Room was very clean, loved the high-tech functionality of the room. Room was on the small side made it a little difficult maneuvering but we managed. Only drawback pool closed every night by 8:30. Would’ve liked to be able to sit at the pool more in the evening.

Location was great. Within walking distance to a few restaurants like Chuy's or Rudy's. Easy on and off 183. For a family of 4 the double queen room was TIGHT but doable. The games and pool table in the lobby were a nice touch.
