The desk chair in my room was in very poor looking condition. The room needs more plugins for phones, iPads etc. The only way I could tell what time it was is with my phone but their is no place to plug it in by the bed and their is no clock or alarm in the room..

Hotel is OK with breakfast, coffee. Hotel has a pool thus the room smells a bit breached. Carpet is dark and unappealing. But room is spacious. A bit old hotel but good for a night.

This place was dirty and the listing is very misleading. When arriving to the room the toilet was already plugged and there was not a shower curtain!! It took quite awhile to fix the plugged toilet, but after it was fixed a worker brought a hand written note, (to the pool in front of everyone) stating “DON’T THROW TOILET PAPER INSIDE THE TOILET PLEASE” First thing, we did not cause the problems and second where is the TP supposed to go? And to top it all off, couldn’t shower because they never did get a shower curtain to the room…..they were extremely rude about the whole deal…would give negative stats if I could. I would NOT recommend staying here!!

Customer service was ok, but not great. Front desk service was never actually at the desk and they weren't overly friendly/helpful when asking for things. The towels were never stocked in the pool area, we had to go to the front and wait for someone to request more. They would only bring one small stack each time. The pool and hot tub were decent size and the kids enjoyed it, a bonus for some may be that it stays open until midnight. The breakfast staff did a decent job of keeping food fully stocked and they had a decent variety. My biggest complaint would be how uncomfortable the bed was. I considered sleeping on the floor the second night. The rooms were decent sized. The hotel was ok overall and if they had different beds, I would likely stay again.

Not clean!

When we arrived our first set of keys were to a room with disheveled sheets and trash, as though somebody was still in that room. Our second room was not clean at all, so we just turned in the keys and left to go find a new hotel.

Just okay

In the middle of the night we had someone keep trying to get in our room. We called the front desk and asked someone to come check on it and they asked us to tell the person to come to the front desk. We let them know that we were not opening the door and asked that they send someone to check on it which they finally did. The room was noisy overall as we could hear the people upstairs every time they moved around.
