Solid three star
the hotel is located on hotel circle, so it's situated amongst tons of other hotels. this is the first property as you pass underneath the freeway, so it benefits from being the 'first' along the row of hotel circle hotels and you don't have to deal with any properties to at least one side. the hotel itself was quite nice for our 3 day stay; aside from being very convenient to attractions (15 minutes drive at most), they had a nice cafe for all meals, a heated pool, two Jacuzzis, and the rooms were ok for a couple - a sitting area/table and chairs. do take note that rooms come with NO TOILETRIES - bring your own; there is only one very light blanket on the bed which was not nearly enough, the workout center was very small so don't expect much, there is ample free parking. it was nice overall and they were prompt with service requests, but i think i'd look around more before settling on this one - a complimentary breakfast would have been nice, or some other perk to make it stand out from other hotels in the area. i did notice a free airport shuttle, so that might be good for some. it was average and good enough for our visit.
