The room was pretty dated, our pullout couch was broke and the staff were very quick to bring us a roll away bed! The staff is what made this place great.

Rooms were great, but they were extremely hot, with no option to set the thermostat lower than 68, and could not open a window. Also, the bathroom sink lighting is extremely dim. Could not find a way to make it brighter, so it made it difficult to see well when getting ready for our event. Otherwise ...

Room was spacious and clean. We were traveling with children and the amenities were just ok. Pool area has dust covering furniture and construction materials around. Kids thought it was a little boring. I’d recommend to a business traveler, but not a family.

"What i didn't like, Breakfast- No decaf coffee. Otherwise good. Eggs,biscuits and gravy, waffles, cereal, toast, lil donuts,juice. Room- didn't like- not enough towels and 1 each LITTLE bottle of shampoo, conditioner.Bed comfy. Hot tub Full of kids until 9pm. Check in guy stated owner's children and friends the every day. Once able to get in, it was great. Asked for a tooth brush,Iforgot mine, they couldn't find any. For the price it was ok. "
