Pros: 1. Room was clean 2.. Booked an additional night upon arriving one day early. Discussed cleaning room on 2nd morning, was told not a problem. Assistant Manager did an excellent job to correct the issues. 3. Breakfast was OK. Cons: 1. Musty smell upon entering. Once AC was flowing, it got better. 2. Room was not cleaned on Saturday as promised when I spoke to the young lady before leaving for the day on Saturday. Spoke to Mark, Assistant Manager and everything was worked out. 3.. Breakfast- a. fix the juice machine b. Add some type of fruit c. Add yogurts d. Variety of coffee creamers would be nice 4. Fix the hot tub!

We got a non smoking room, it smelled like they have smoked in there. Honestly a lot of it needs to be upgraded. It’s definitely “you get what you paid for” The showerhead curtain was very dirty, and they even turned it around cause they had a lot of stains, The tub was not in the best conditions and when we turned on the water, it turned brown due to the rust, showerhead was also broken and spouted water. floors need to be taken care of better, they were very dirty. I probably wouldnt stay here again.

Tv broke the first night we were there took him a whole day to have it fixed.. all the plugs for the power cords are worn out The continental breakfast is a joke The juice machine has been broken for a long time. Didn’t even have water available to drink with breakfast The hot tub looks like it’s been broken for over a year
Massive gaps in the fixtures hot and cold would constantly change temperature
Cracks in tub
Light on off broken plastic will cut you
Dirty handprints on door Door handle will be stuck in open position so when you leave the door wouldn’t lock behind you

Bad experience

The room was out dated. Looked like they barely cleaned it other than the beds. The tub took 30 plus min to drain after a shower. The app said it had a microwave and didn’t have one in the room. The security door lock chain was broken and only half there. The spa was not working and pool looked dirty. At check in the the front desk asked for my id and deposit and talked o. The phone to someone in another language.

Arrived later than expected so I’m sure they initially just gave me what was available. The 1st room was DIRTY! The bathroom had stains and holes in the wall, the ac was loud and the room smelled “old”. Then we found a spider in the shower. I asked to switch rooms and the gentlemen was nice enough to accommodate us however the upgrade wasn’t that much different. I had to go to the local store and purchase my own cleaning products. I will give credit for the breakfast offered daily, the waffle station was a nice and needed added touch. Also there’s a $100 deposit you probably won’t get back. Please beware.
