Needs some work

The location was great in regards to restaurants and access, but that's where the positive remarks end unfortunately. That the hotel needs a major facelift. The hallways had low spots in the floor where it felt like it was giving from under the footing. The mattress on the bed needed to be replaced as it was shaped like a "U". The air conditioner didn't work very well at all, but the water pressure and temperature in the shower was awful.

They asked me my preferred location for my room. I chose a room with pool view. However, it was awful. People spoke and laughed loudly at the pool and I woke up several times. I asked the receptionist to tell them be quiet. But people were not fixed. New people came to pool and started talking again.

Worst bed ever

Our family stayed in a 2-queen room. One bed was so sunken in and truly broken on one side it made for a miserable night’s sleep. We didn’t request another room because by the time bedding was pulled back and it was noticed, 2 of the 3 guests were asleep from a 10-hour drive with another 15 hour driving day ahead of us. It was as if the springs in the mattress were broken or missing causing a large, sunken hole. This easily could have been identified during housekeeping services prior to allowing someone to sleep on this bed. The front desk was notified upon checkout. Very disappointing as this was 100% avoidable and noticeable to anyone making a bed. Makes me wonder what else is overlooked.
