The evening desk clerk at check in was rude but all the other staff was very friendly. Said they had a pool but did not. Turned it into a fenced play area on artificial turf with some games for kids. This also doubled as a dog park where they would use it as a bathroom, so the kids played in the same area with urine and feces. Room was fair but the floors were dirty. Air conditioner leaked water onto the floor inside of the room. Daily room service only consisted of taking out the trash and it was an inconvenience to get towels replaced. A friend who stayed there one night while we were there warned us to check our credit card payment because they attempted to charge him for two (2) nights. Will not stay here again!

Upon arrival there was no one at front desk. Waited ten minutes for a rude man to show up and he was mad at the world. Not friendly at all. I have a service dog and at breakfast was asked by the person at the front desk to sit away from the food area because of my service dog. The young man bringing out the food followed me around making sure I closed the food and laid down the utensils in the right spot. Never been treated so rudely.
