Okay stay.

It was okay, but the room needs an upgrade. The bathroom smelled, the shower head was broken and the sink was about to fall down. They don’t serve breakfast even though it says on-the-go breakfast just coffee.

Needs more staff in dining area

This is such a nice hotel. The decor is lovely and my kids really enjoyed the pool. The dining situation however is seriously a problem. First of all, they keep the coffee behind the counter at the restaurant. I had to wait in line every time I wanted a refill. Ridiculous. Second there was only one person both at dinner and breakfast helping guests. One single person taking orders, serving, and cleaning up. It was not ok. Poor things were desperately trying to help everyone. Third as other reviewers have mentioned the beds are very hard. Such a nice hotel but coffee should always be free and accessible to guests.

Once again the staff is amazing. De'Shawn, the morning person, and the bar staff are great. One complaint: the bed sheet in room 164 had a blood spot on it. We just avoided it...no problem. The bathroom also has a better shower and the bathroom fan worked vs. room 157 the last two times.
