The hotel was a connected hotel and the pool area was shared. I am not sure what other parts of the hotel were shared besides pool and some staff. Overall, the room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast selection was TERRIFIC... plenty of choices that would be kid-friendly and more than satisfying for a continental-type breakfast. Amenities were nice. I would have liked for the laundry room to accept a card because I didn't have the quarters needed to wash and dry (about $8 worth). The building itself was a no-smoking building, yet with couple of nights there, the smell of recreational smoking was noticeable in the halls. Of course, this is not on the workers... they didn't do it. I'm sure it is hard to pin-point the culprits... just something to keep in mind if you have an intolerance to smoke. I would also note, this is a pet-friendly hotel, so don't be alarmed if you see animals in the dining area. Overall, for what the hotel could manage, it was a great, affordable stay for a few nights. The location is 10/10, breakfast is 10/10, staff is friendly, room is very comfy and clean.
