All aspects of the hotel were great except for 2 things. Unfortunately they were 2 big things. The mattress was terribly lumpy and very low in the center! Also, all 4 pillows smelled SO bad we couldn’t sleep on them; and used rolled up towels. I will say that the room was very clean and the staff was great and knowledgeable about the area.

Won’t stay here again.

The continental breakfast was disappointing, nothing like when we stayed here as a Best Western. The coffee was awful, very weak and we were told there was nothing they could do about it. Apparently the rooms are only cleaned every third day? and had a musty odor. The pool towels were barely bigger than a hand towel. The ice machine on the second floor was out of order.

Think twice!! The hotel has everything you need! Pool was warm! They had live music on the weekend which was great! The hot tub wasn’t working! The restaurant was also convenient. THE PROBLEM was that the room we stayed in was infested with FLEAS! I’m not sure if a dog had stayed in that room previously! It doesn’t help that the rooms have dark curtains and weren’t very clean. My family and I were all bitten by the time we realized what was going on. We won’t be going back there again!
