Breakfast needs to be improved, it’s below average. The carpet in the room feels dirty, but the sheets, bathroom and the furniture were clean. The front desk was responsive and quick, we needed a few more pillow and they brought it in 5min. It was a good stay overall.

Stayed for business trip for work at the convention center - by car it was a super quick ride which was convenient, but the rooms were a bit damp and dated, and some things like curtains wouldn’t close. Breakfast was limited but very good options, the fresh fruit and yogurt were the highlights and the breakfast meats and eggs were also delicious !

This place has real potential. The property has a mold mildew type of smell. The carpet in the room was wet. They had a wristband situation for the pool but a lot of people without. I watched staff kick someone out who had a whole bottle near the pool and then not enforce it. Pool water was dirty and did not smell treated. I had a first floor room with curtains that couldn’t close.we had to park our car in front our window for some privacy since it was facing the parking lot. The room has lights on the outside which were illuminating my room all night. Take out the mold carpets, invest in some proper window treatments, clean your pool!!
