Awesome staff, needs an update
Staff waa great, however the side entrance doors took about 15 swipes of my key card to work, bathroom tub was leaking onto the floor, and overall just dated. Little bit of modernization would go a long way.

Despite being on 4th floor heard highway traffic all night. Breakfast no longer automatically included. Brown water came out of shower faucet when turned on. Clearly no one has vacuumed under the ottoman in some time.

Mediocre facilities at best, great staff
The hotel is very run down: the hot water did not work, there was mold in the doorways where the carpet was coming up, the shower head was broken and only sprayed hard pulse or sprayed out the bottom all over the bathroom, the pool was dirty, hot tub drained, blood spots on the patio. We booked a room with a couch for my son and were given a room with a chair (they did accommodate with a rollaway bed). They were fully booked. Staff was pleasant and helpful, but I won't be staying there next year in the current state of cleanliness/rundown facilities

All rooms are not created equal here: stay away from the rooms that are adjacent to the indoor pool area unless you enjoy children screaming/yelling at all hours of the day/evening. Also, these rooms are uncomfortably HOT. Also the showers need help. Warm water not hot water and the shower heads spray in 64 different directions.
