Solo trip to see friends in Cardiff
King suite was nice size with good room to move around and ample storage. It was a bit too dark at night and the room could use brighter lights for those who want to do more than just sleep. I really liked having a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker in the room. The breakfast was great. The buttons in the bathroom were busted up but still worked. Unfortunately I had a southern facing room and got a lot of noise from I-15 and people driving loud vehicles outside my window. I would hesitate to stay there again under those conditions.

Check in (guy)less than average, didn't acknowledge Hilton Honors member, not very helpful in determining food options for people not from the area. The rest of the staff was nice, not the above and beyond type. Nice facility, shopping center not far.

The room was a generous size. There were enough drawers and counters to place one’s belongings. The bathroom has a nice configuration even though not large. There were adequate towels and even wash cloths (something often missing when traveling lately). Only changes I’d like to see is shower head that can be hand held.

The location was convenient to where we needed to be! The parking lot was not huge so parking was easy, although it would have been nice to not have to pay for parking! $10 a day seems a bit high for the level of parking lot that was provided. We gladly paid it though, just wanted to give a heads up. The morning breakfast crew was amazingly polite and helpful! They offered to make waffles and even brought food to patrons that had obviously frequented the dining room all week. We were greeted with constant smiles and pleasantries and really enjoyed our breakfast. The room itself was good overall and was very spacious. The bed could have been more comfortable and the air conditioner and lights seemed to be on an energy saving timer of some sort that we couldn't figure out. They would go out while we were sitting in the room. It was also slightly odd to have someone's backyard just outside of our window, but they had a nice garden lol. Regardless, the room had plenty of space for us to work comfortably and house our golf travel bag and luggage with plenty of room to spare. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!
