Rude front desk kid. Pictures online are 10 X better than the room in person. Granted the room was clean all the furnishings like the sink and shower curtain rods were rusted. The room was big but come on rusted sinks and shower rods. It's gross. My room was on the first floor so I could hear everything and this place is on the corner of a very busy intersection so it's loud and was hard to sleep. Last thing was I how strong of chemicals the room smelled. I almost left as I have asthma and it was making hard to stay in the room. I would never stay here again.

Room clould have been a little more clean. Painters tape pieces still left around the shutters, water cap left in the shower, shampoo/conditioner/body wash were very gunky. Dark marks on the ceiling around the shower. Tub is extremely slippery (mat provided is very small for the size of the tub). Elevator stopped working on our second day and walking up and down stairs with kids and 6 months pregnant wasn't the best part of our staying either. Pool are was closed for the entire time we were there eventhough they told us it would be operational in ~3 hrs. Breakfast provided was as basic as it gets. Parking lot, surrounding area, and eating area were very clean. Staff 2/3 we encountered at the front desk were very friendly.

Helpful staff however my room had mold in the upper ceiling natural light in the bathroom. I moved to about 4 rooms before accepting that the room I had was going to be the one I had to keep. The staff didn’t bother to upgrade my room after telling me it was put out of service because of the mold for several months. Overall the ac was clean which was nice. But the breakfast sucked here, not at ALL what the photos showed. I could probably get better breakfast at McDonald’s..

When we first walked in, there was what seemed to be a manager and a subordinate arguing in front of myself and another guest. The first two sets of room keys didn’t work but a maintenance worker said that their system was acting up, so that was understandable. The A/C didn’t work very well, but the heater worked great. The jets in the jacuzzi tub did not work. The tv would not work, and when the front desk was called all we were told was, “Unplug it and plug it back in, that’s what works for me” instead of offering to send somebody up to help. The stay itself was not terrible and was in a great part of town, but I am only willing to give this place one last chance.

Clean room and kind staff. We stayed in the suite and the hot tub and fireplace were easy to operate and fun to have. There were very cute towels folded into shapes around the room. The breakfast however is extremely sparse. Some toast and yogurt and coffee. Don’t expect protein options.

We went on a roadtrip and this was the first hotel we stayed at. Every hotel on our trip did not even come close to this place. The location is fantastic, right across from shopping and conveniently located near the start of the 17 Mile Drive. The room that we had was pet-friendly and large - it was a 2 story with a murphy bed and sofa on the bottom floor and a king size on the second floor with 2 bathrooms. We were very comfortable, especially our pup. I'd return here if I ever came back to the area.

I was looking forward to swimming in the heated pool however the pool was not warm enough to swim in wanted to utilize the nice fire outside but when I called the front desk, Madison said I needed my own matches because the maintenance guy had left 10 minutes ago I asked her if she had matches she said no we would have to light ourselves. I do not carry matches and I just thought that this was horrible because we could not experience the beautiful Gas fires that were outdoors. Continental breakfast was OK but it said that it provided breakfast not continental so it would’ve been nice to have some scrambled eggs something more substantial the service people that clean the rooms. They were busy washing clothes, washing towels props to them. They knocked on our door asked if we needed service, but Madison needs some retraining had to be more customer service oriented.
