Some good,

The goods: The room was clean, beds comfortable and the breakfast was on point! The room was nice and cool which made it comfortable. The less than great: Our keys stopped working more than once which was a few extra trips to the front desk that could have been avoided. Water pressure in the shower was not awesome hot water would come and go and the pool room was not clean, the water appeared murkey and just didnt feel right when my kids and I got in. There was some sediment on the bottom of the pool and visible mice droppings under the tables and towel cart. Im not upset with our stay because the room itself was alright. Was it worth $600 for 2 nights... no. Would I stay again? If they got the pool cleaned up yes.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were placed on the 4th floor, and then told that the elevator would not work going down. We were not told this until after we were already in our room. Not fun with kids and multiple bags. Our pullout bed did not have bedding. When I attempted to call the desk to get some, I discovered that our phone did not work. When I went to the front desk, I was given sheets but no comforter, as they were out. Kids were cold and woke in the night, as a sheet was not sufficient. My total bill was $245 for an uncomfortable and disappointing stay.
