The Comfort Inn & Suites is just two stories tall with no elevators. Handicapped rooms are on the first floor. We had a second floor, no-smoking room with two queen beds. There are four entrances to the place. Three are open during the day and then locked after 9 PM, accessible only with a key-card. I would feel more comfortable if they were locked all the time and accessible only with a key-card.
We checked in very easily. The staff was friendly and helpful. Local phone calls are free!
The two beds were very comfortable. Everything was very clean. The room might have been rather plain, but I dont fuss about things like that at hotels. While the room wasnt tiny, I also would not describe it as roomy. Finding a place to set up our portable crib took a bit of ingenuity.
The bathroom had plenty of towels for the entire family plus soap, shampoo and conditioner. A small hairdryer was in the bathroom. The television received a myriad of channels, with plenty for my kids to watch for the short time we were in the room. There was also a table with two chairs. This had a small, 4-cup coffee maker with the coffee, powdered creamer and sugar.
The pool was nice. It wasnt too large, but it was fine for my kids to take a quick dip at the end of a rather hectic day. Theres a jacuzzi right alongside it, so going from the pool to the jacuzzi and vice-versa is just a matter of falling over the small wall between them. The water looked good. By the end of the night (th pool is open from 7 AM - 10 PM) they were running out of pool towels.
The morning breakfast had a decent selection. There was coffee in thermal carafes, orange juice, apple juice, bagels, muffins, toast, donuts, cereal and milk, yogurt, toaster waffles toaster French toast, and a selection of pastries.
PROS: clean, good breakfast, nice pool, great rates
CONS: non-lobby entrances left open during the day
