Power outage for 6 hours. The only stairwell was through the pool area which was not lit. Live bed bugs found on the last day. No courtesy offered such as meal or discount to offset such a bad experience.

Overall nice job.

Hotel was clean and well kept. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast attendant for Sunday the 17th was a little lax on keeping items stocked.
