The courtyard, banquet hall, pool and restaurant seem to be nice with a good looking bar. The rooms are awful, bathtubs had mold/mildew just gross. Our front desk associate tried to make everything right but it was out of her hands.

The room was nice. Remember to pick your cell phone cords up off the floor before house keeping comes in or they will destroy them in the vacuum. Other than that the stay was very pleasant.

I booked room in advance. I was given our keys and when we got to our room and went in, there were suitcases and personal items all in room--- it was already occupied! We had to walk all the way back to desk with 2 kids and had to wait again to get another room. We walk all the way to 2nd room, and the keys wouldnt work. The door was bent and the only way to open door was to lift handle upwards. Constant noise. They apparently rent the pool out for a public party which was supposed to be over by 8/830 and of course it wasnt. Adults drinking in pool area made my daughter uncomfortable. Mildew in shower tiles. Air in room wouldnt regulate. Rooms definitely need updates. Plugs near nightstand didnt want to work- phones didnt charge even being plugged in all night. Plug at sink loose and hairdryer kept unplugging.

The pool was big and the kids loved it. Ended up having to go back to the room early because of the adults that couldnt even walk from partying. Had to help a missing kid find their mom who didn't seem to care when we did find her. Woman passed out in the hallway chair upstairs with puke running down her leg. Dog poop in the hallway. The rooms were outdated but OK. The bedframe is just ply board and the pillows are old. Mold and old coffee in the coffee pot. The front desk was fantastic though. Make sure to go early for breakfast or you'll miss out on all the hot food. Interesting hotel for sure.

Nice stay

The hotel staff were very nice and acted in a professional manner. The pool area was clean. Rooms were very clean. Our only issues were that the shower drain in our room was clogged so we stood in a couple of inches of water while showering, and the weekday continental breakfast had miniscule gluten-free options.
