Overall it seemed like no one really cared. No one at the front desk for almost an hour at prime check in, housekeeping not following protocol in supplying the rooms, and just a general feeling of unwelcomeness. On a good note, the bartender was amazing and breakfast was very good.

The bar tender was awesome! But the receptionist not so much. Dirty room and I had to change my own sheets and pillows cases. Hopefully they can improve because my experience was not the best there.

Got to my room and tried watching tv. It wouldn’t turn on so I Asked the cleaning people for help. They called maintenance and they never showed up. I tried calling the front desk after 90 minutes and no one answered. They switched my king room for 2 queens. Bathtub was not clean. Was told I would get a 50% discount but would have to contact hotels.com and they would contact the hotel for the discount. Still waiting to hear.

Room was very quiet and bed was comfortable. Air conditioner was noisy which is common for the type of air conditioner. Some of the furnishings were in rough shape. Water pressure in the shower was very good but the faucet control seemed to need work. Pool area was fine however the lights were exceptionally bright. Some of the jets in the hot tub did not work. There was a water dispenser in the exercise room but no water jug. There were no tissues in the tissue dispenser in the bathroom. We arrived in the dark and didn’t see any lit signage for the property. There were a couple of holes in the bathroom wall above the sink. I’m not sure what might have been missing there.

Dirty. Very disapointing. Especially for the price. Hair dryer fell off the wall. Bathroom sink stopped up. Food from previous people on the floor. The other amenities did not compensate for condition of the room.
