The room was ok but the TV was small and the cable system sucks, old and crappy to operate, they also have constant pop up commercials that display on the screen constantly and take up 1/3 of the screen, which blocks whatever show you are watching.. extremely annoying. When I booked the room, it included breakfast but when I got here, was advised that because I booked through Expedia, the breakfast is not included and they wanted to charge me for a CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST....seriously, that is pretty sad. Would not stay here again, lots of better places nearby.

Great Pool + Comfy Bed

Comfy bed, Spacious room, Great tub/bathroom. A little out of date in hallways/exterior but room was great! Lots of parking with side doors closer to the room was a plus, and right across the street from food/shoppers. Not super busy either compared to the other hotels in the area i saw. The pool + hot tub was fantastic and why i chose this one. Happy with my stay!

Stay if no other choice

Got in the room it was freezing cold. Turned on the one and only heater, took 2 hours to be comfortable. The windows don’t close properly so cold air comes in. Two double beds, not queen. The place is run down but they renovated the bathroom.

Didnt like hot tub closed at 9:30 due to shift workers. Put them on the outside rather than whete atrium is then so other guests can enjoy amenities. I had to get 3 sets of key cards as my room would not let me in. Otherwise ok place for price.
