Check-in was a new one for me - we arrived for our stay around 6:30pm and found an envelope with the last name written on it taped to the outside window. Inside was a key ( and actual key, not a key card ) to the room, receipt and a parking pass. The room we stayed in ( ground level, near the swimming pool ) was ok. The lighting could be updated, same with the carpet. The bathroomnis due for an update - tub/shower paneling was loose in a few places, dings and peeling paint in a few places. The area was busy and we could definitely hear noises from the swimming pool, but it was quiet overnight. Overall, I feel like this was an ok stay for the price paid.
