The hotel was too hot. There was only 1 working elevator which made noises. The shower was broken. The air condition in the bedroom was broken. My room wasn't ready upon check in. Hotel staff was a plus, they were extremely nice and helpful. The dining facilities for breakfast were very nice.

The pool is closed, and this was one of the main reasons we picked this hotel. Parking is expensive. Overall however good experience

I didn’t like that the pool was closed, on the website and Travelocity website it doesn’t state the pool is closed. The reason I stayed at the hotel was to give my kids a little break from everything going on and let them swim. Unfortunately they were not able to use that amenity. Very disappointing.

Within five minutes of my check in, I had my first complaint. My initial room had not one but TWO bugs in two different areas. I was disgusted and immediately ready to check back out. My friend who was staying with me and celebrating her birthday decided she would call the front desk. She called the front desk to inform them we had found bugs and the front desk associate did not respond with the urgency to do anything about it. We then were assigned another room that we couldn’t check in ourselves and had to wait on an engineer to let us in. The key system was down and we did not receive our keys until hours later. The second room we checked in was just decent. There was water damage on the ceiling in the shower which was not pretty to look at.
