They charged for parking. It was not in the description that they do. Otherwise it’s a nice hotel. They have a lot of parking but if you have a big truck or SUV there might not be any. That was my issue. No parking for my car because of the height.

Room smelled like mold and stank. When I took the kids to the pool there was some kind of nearly X rated photo shoot going on. After all that, they still charged me for parking. I stayed here 3 years ago and it’s wasn’t nearly this bad. I would avoid this place if you can. I paid 300 for one night with just disappointment. There is Homewood suites about a mile away that is waaaaaaaaaaaay better.

Disliked: Amenities
Did not have a good experience at all. I specifically asked upon request before check in to make sure no down comforters and pillows were on the bed as my partner is severely allergic. Of course once we checked in 4 hours after check in time, they had more than enough time to have our room ready. It was not and had to wait for them to change out our room. They also did not take the down pillows and comforters out of the room and made me do it. Then said to leave whatever we didn’t need and leave in the hallway. Again absolutely horrible service and staff. We ended up leaving and going to another hotel. I am requesting a full refund at this point.

Most Employees were nice except for one lady who worked at the front desk, she seemed annoyed when we asked for help with Ice since the ice machine on our floor was broken, and we also needed a new liner for the ice bucket, she just seemed like this was a big inconvenience to her, my partner also asked her for some of the cookies they were handing out at check in and she rudely told him she only had enough for people checking in.. the other lady that night helped us right away with the liner and ice, she went out of her way to get us ice from the kitchen and everyone else was very helpful, and the hotel was clean. We also got an upgrade when we checked in which was a nice surprise considering we booked through Expedia, we will 100% be back the property was beautiful
