When we arrived we found out that the elevator was out of service. The attendant at the counter explained the situation and was extremely apologetic. I appreciated the way the situation was handled and she was quite kind. Job well done.

Not great

Our Tv did not work the whole 2nd and 3rd day. The front desk did not offer to help. I slipped and fell in the pool because the ladder was very slick and did not have tread on the steps for grip. Hit my shin and because very swollen and painful. The front desk person offered a band aide, it was not bleeding, just very swollen.

My shower curtain was covered in mold. Asked for it to be replacrd while we were gone for the day. It was not. Asked for it again when I got back. I was handed a new curtain and had to ask for them to wait for me to remove the molded one to take with them.

Not worth it for the $$

The shower was dirty when we arrived. The hallways were dirty. Room is much smaller than is pictured for the price. The breakfast was cold (oatmeal and bacon), everything else at the breakfast bar was fine. Way too expensive for condition of hotel.
