Was taken back with how dirty and unkept this property looked. We only stayed one night thank goodness but it didn’t feel clean, carpet was dirty and had to ask for a new room as our first one was really musty. Front desk staff was very nice

Friendly staff

Nice hotel. Very clean with the most attentive breakfast staff I've seen anywhere I've traveled. Both ladies were quick to help my daughter get the food she wanted, vigilant to wipe tables between parties, and constantly refilled dishes. Other staff were also friendly and always offered a "Good morning!" like they meant it. The pool felt more like a hot tub than a refreshing place to cool off...not sure if there’s anything to be done when the outside temperature is so high. Despite an elevator outage I was warned about before staying, service didn't suffer.
