The only positive thing I can say is that when we checked in the only room on the ground floor they had left was a room that pets had stayed and the front desk lady let us see it first. We did find 2 spiders in the bathroom and the air conditioner was very loud. Breakfast is all carbs. But if you just need a bed for sleeping it works.
We thought the room was clean and comfortable. The pool was nice and not overly warm but a nice temperature. The hot tub was great. Overall great experience. I only wish the pool opened earlier so we could have gotten a swim in before our checkout time.
Efficient check-in. Updated modern style decor in rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. A staff member named Will was seemed particularly hard working and other guests at the hotel also commented on his resolving an issue for them quickly. Hot tub and pool were in good working condition.
We’ve stayed at the property before and it was okay, so we tried it again. DISAPPOINTED to say the least. Room is okay (fairly clean and beds are comfy), but breakfast was AWFUL. They were out of almost everything edible … we ate a strawberry (!) waffle and a yogurt. Fun if you’re 5 years old but not adults.
Won’t stay here again.
The staff was awesome! I arrived at 3:00am due to numerous flight delays from California, and a staff member was there to check me in. They stayed in communication with me throughout the day and had my room key all ready to go when I arrived. They went above and beyond

It was clean and the staff were very friendly. But the room was way too small and felt claustrophobic, especially the bathroom. The air conditioner kept going out and the room got stuffy.
