“This updated property, while older, strikes a pleasant balance with its central location near local attractions; the pool is a social hub, yet some may find weekend noise levels high. With pet-friendly policies and event spaces, it accommodates various needs, though some rooms show their age and cleanliness could improve. A worthwhile option if location matters more than plush interiors.”
