Pros: The rooms open onto a nice atrium with a pool and lots of seating.
Cons: The desk clerk made a mistake and charged my credit card for the full cost of the room. They reversed the charge but I feared I wouldn't have access to my money for a few days.

Close to airport
Pros: It was fine
Cons: It was still priced as a nice holiday inn would be, however it felt old, dated & run down; altogether there were parts under construction. I called ahead to request 2 rooms that are conjoinjng as we have 4 kids. I was offered no help just a rude attitude to let me know I can book 2 rooms but they would not guarantee conjoined or close by due to occupancy. I asked if she could look to see if it was a possibility & assign a room now (unsure how busy they could be on a Monday) I was informed that, no she could not & that it may be available now but may not be by that Monday. I explained I was traveling with 4 children & we would either need a bigger room or an extra room but that I can't have my children down the hall or on another floor. Her suggestion was to hang up, go to booking.com & try to book another room & just see how it goes. I couldn't chance it. We had 1 child on the floor, 2 in 1 bed & then 1 in bed with my husband & I, so over all we weren't comfort

Pretty mediocre
Pros: Everything was ok.
Cons: Kids waking us up at 2am. Running halls and banging on doors. The pool/hot tub shows open till 11:00. Go to use and they say it's closes at 10pm. Then change the sign. Rude customer service night of stay. Great service morning of stay.

Mediocre
Pros: Clean room, pretty quite
Cons: Room did not have a view of the pool, which we paid for. Booking said it included breakfast, not true, just got vouchers for 18 dollars of and had to pay the balance which was $11,very expensive for what it was. Was told the total would be $179 and was charged $195.

Read the fine print on...
Pros: The balcony access was nice, although there was no way to access the room from the sliding glass door without unlocking it from inside.
Cons: The included "free" breakfast was only for two, in the form of vouchers. We were traveling with children so it cost us another $20 for breakfast that we weren't expecting.
The rooms were of adequate size and cleanliness, but we had trouble getting it cool enough for sleeping temperature.
The pool was much smaller than it looked online. The room was listed as a balcony/pool view room. We did have a view of the pool/common area, but the common area is divided into two levels with the pool on the lower portion so we couldn't sit outside our room and watch the kids play in the pool.
