You got what you paid for. The front desk lady that helps us was nice. Hotel is clean just had the strong chemical smells they used to clean the room. We thought it was just in one room, we requested to move to different room still got the same issue. We decided to stay just for one night.

Comfy and relaxing

My biggest complaint is that the gameroom isn't free. I didn't see any indications that it costs extra on this app. Otherwise, a great place to stay. Very clean. Room had plenty of ammenities... including a small dining table and real dishes to use. Game room was fun. Pool was a great temp. Hot tub was over chlorinated. Breakfast was typical, but good. Nearby... I wouldn't eat at the Ruby Tuesday next door. The italian place across the road has better food, but slower service. Prehistoric mini golf was much better than I anticipated. I would go there again. If you're into the bar sceen, the Historic Haymarket is the place to go.
