The environment is very good, and the traffic is very convenient, but there is no place to eat at night, and the hotel bar closes at 9 o'clock. There is nowhere to drink in the evening. There is a laundry on the second floor of the hotel, which is very convenient and easy to use. There is no need to dry the clothes after washing. $1.25 to wash a tub, $1.25 to dry.

Clean, nice modern rooms. Cool air, comfy beds. Nice size pool area. Walking trails close by. Restraunt on 2nd floor had good food. The food was really good, portion sizes were almost too large. We got a variery and the Cy's fries and mac-n-cheese was a hit with the kids. The mixed drinks were not good. We would definately stay there again but would skip the restaraunt. Nice place!
