TWO things you REALLY need to fix: (1) Rm 424-Unstoppable drip bathtub faucet. And if you tighten the grip, it only slows down the drip and then you need Conan the Barbarian to loosen it. (2) Fix the darn TV channel guides to where they are actually correct. If the front desk hadn't given me one that was different from the one in my room and I would have missed the Celtics game. The staff was GREAT!

Compensation not honored

We enjoyed our stay, however following our second night there we were asked to relocate to a different room due to a water leak in the wall affecting the room below us. We were told they would make compensation at check out, but didn’t. No partial refund or compensation of any kind. We were not happy about that at all.

Very nice and clean property. Room was spacious, clean, and modern. Robert made check in a breeze and allowed us to park there a little early to walk around town. Pools were a little colder than expected that was the only issue. Would definitely recommend giving this place a shot!

Great Downtown hotel for families

Perfect hotel for families. The indoor pool/waterpark is a wonderful perk for kids. Even my teenagers enjoyed the 2 bigger slides. The free breakfast was also surprisingly good with something for everyone. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
