Room was average with carpet :/ I hate carpet in hotel rooms, it is gross. Room was clean though. Parking was ok...we found a spot but if we arrived a bit later there would have been none. Will stay again for a quick trip.

I called before 12pm to confirm that the pool was going to be available and I was lied to. This is unacceptable especially since I brought my kids to this hotel because of the indoor pool. This is bad on the hotel. I was told maintenance was going to start tomorrow (Monday)

The door wouldn't work correctly for 4 hours after check in and we couldclose it or risk not being able to open the door without help from the front desk. The pool was schedfor Maintenence on Monday 11/10. They closed the pool early Sunday 11/9. We specifically stayed here because of the pool and spa. This was very disappointing as the website stated ot would be open until Monday. Thrre wrre also seversl maintenance issues within our room. Fail as a hospitality issue.

It was clean however, and ok overall. It’s affordable but the light outside shines right in my room at night due to NO curtains and low quality shutters. So if you like to sleep in a pitch black room. Do not book here. You won’t get it.

Hotel was clean and maintained. Be prepared, however, to go through a complicated check-in process. The hotel may be trying to make it easier with a kiosk when no one is at the desk, but have not got it worked out yet.
