We had a family wedding on the same weekend as graduations were happening, so the hotel was booked. We needed 3 rooms for 2 nights each. One of the rooms did not have a working shower and had a musty smell, so we were moved to a different room for the second night. The beds were a little on the hard side, but had a pillow top so they were mostly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was good and the pool was in decent shape, so the grandkids enjoyed a swim.

Building was clean and relatively well kept. Only thing I noticed was a couple spots in the hallways that appeared to need to be repaired/painted. Easy fix though. Overall met my expectations.
