"Front staff were always great. The 2 free cocktails plus snacks during the reception each evening were a nice surprise. Room was nice and the bed was very comfortable with everything we might need. Breakfast was great!! Best hotel breakfast weโ€™ve ever had. Room service food was good but we werenโ€™t given any utensils or napkins so we had to use wash cloths so that wasnโ€™t nice. Perfect location for visiting aquarium and childrenโ€™s museum. We had a great weekend until it was time to leave and valet made us wait with a 3 yr old and a baby 30 minutes to get our vehicle. They overlooked our ticket and brought the wrong vehicle. Overall it was still a great stay though and I would recommend it to anyone visiting with kids."

The buffet style breakfast is hard to beat especially if you have a full day planned and need to grab and go! They had bagels, eggs, coffee, tea, juice, waffles, potatoes and fresh fruit and yogurt! My only complaint was my tub drained slow. But I didnโ€™t complain to the staff so really that was my own problem. For the price and quality, you cannot beat this place.

"Conveniently located for easy access to the I 75 corridor, plenty of places to eat close by. The property was relatively clean however there were minor things that were missed in the room. Surfaces not wiped off, slightly dusty like the room has sit empty for aa little while. My biggest issue with this property was the door to my room did not close without being forcefully pushed from the inside or pulled from the outside. There was a rub mark at the top of the door where it hit the door frame, and it would not close and latch behind you without you physically pushing on it. This creates a safety risk and I notified the property before I left."
