Bed and room was clean...but the hotel desperately needs an update. Lots of holes in the halls and near the elevators under the carpet. The pool was a hot mess....babies in diapers in the pool, thus we stayed in the hot tub area. We never saw any attendant watch anyone. And the pool location was totally ridiculous on how to get there and back to the hotel....as it's shared with another hotel. Staff was very nice. No breakfast, and thankfully area was quiet.
