Was greeted the second we walked in with such a friendly staff member. Hotel just smelled clean everywhere. Room was very clean and comfortable. While laying in bed sheets smelled very fresh and clean. Parking was extremely easy and convenient. Hotel is within walking distance to many dining facilities. Breakfast in morning was a grab and go, but had more options than most hotels. This area was also very clean. Staff during breakfast was also so friendly. I swear everyone here must train at Disney because they are so friendly. Overall, this hotel was more than affordable and extreme clean. Great experience

We only needed one night after a long flight before taking the train in the morning. Everything was perfect. Clean comfortable beds, friendly staff, nice breakfast. Walking distance to a couple of places to eat. Only drawback was we were hoping this hotel had a free shuttle from the airport, but a $15 taxi wasn't bad.

There was a bad smell when I entered the room. The smell was as if someone just used the room. The hotel should provide some room freshener before assigning the room to a new customer.

Our biggest disappointment is that expedia has it as a shuttle service to & from airport, (the reason i picked that hotel). When i asked at check-in, i was told that service was no longer available and that expedia has not updated the website. I had to pay for 2 ubers totalling close to $60. I would of chosen differently if the shuttle was not a part of the stay.
