Love!

Fantastic Stay – Clean, Safe, and Comfortable! I had a great experience at this hotel. The entire property was very clean and well-maintained, which immediately made me feel at ease. I also appreciated how safe and secure everything felt throughout my stay. The room itself was spacious and updated, with modern touches that added comfort. The bed was incredibly comfortable—one of the best I’ve slept in while traveling. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and reliable stay!

This was a terrible stay

We booked our room in February for a room with 2 queen beds. When we arrived we were given a king bed with a pull out couch. I talk to the manager and she said that she could do anything to change it. As I talked to her she was helping the housekeeper clean a room across the hall, in a room that had 2 queen beds. She tried to say that the 3rd party we booked with dictates the room that we get. I did call the booking agent that I booked with and they, of course, do not pick which room that you get. I asked the hotel for a discount and was refused. The pool and spa was out of order. There were multiple baseball team staying at this hotel and the kids had nothing to do but run up and down the halls and they were playing hide and seek everywhere.Balls were being in the hallways and they played in the elevators. It was old a run down. We had to play any exuberant amount of money due to the fact that the college World Series was playing in town along with the Battle of Omaha youth tournament.
