Hotel is a reasonable. The room was facing the pool and the heat and humidity of it forces you to run the air conditioning full time. Unfortunately, the air conditioner is very loud. I slept with ear plugs and still found it noisy to sleep. Other than that, it is okay.

I had a good stay, love the upgrades to the bathrooms, however, 2 things made my stay frustrating. 1st, the key cards were garbage, they wouldn't work, had to keep going to desk for different cards. Day 1 got 8 cards, day 2, 15 different catds. They kept saying to keep card away from my phone, but I kept it separate in its own pocket. 2nd old TVs couldn't connect my Xbox to internet, only have basic cable and the tv guide never worked. Kept saying unavailable info

I encountered 2 Ladies during my check in and check out. THEY WERE EXCELLENT. In fact the best part of my stay was these 2 staff members. Not only was I warmly welcomed as an individual (not just a booking number), BUT they warmly welcomed my service dog and had a healthy CANADIAN MADE treat packet for her. I so appreciated that welcome!! Thank you both for making me feel so welcomed!
