Comfortable Bed, but a very busy weekend spot, no

Solid stay. The staff are nice. This is a tremendously busy place on the weekends, with kids running in the halls until they let get reigned in at midnight. Comfortable beds. We were told on Friday that the pool doesn’t open until 3–which is kind of why I book this hotel routinely. I like to swim in the morning.
