We paid over $600 for 2 nights. The beds was so hard, my husband slept on the coach. Apparently there was some youth baseball event in the area. Kids were yelling up and down the halls most of the night. There was syrup all over their entire breakfast bar, but no actual syrup for the food. Had to call front desk for syrup bc no employees were around. They brought it as I was leaving. First day potatoes were dry with no seasoning. Second day they were smothered in pepper. I understand they can’t control what their guests do, but the bed being that uncomfortable at $300 a night. That is ridiculous.

Overall excellent stay. Very quiet. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Only drawback was the location as it backed up to a neighborhood. No problems though. Would stay here again.

Very cleanly, the beds were very comfortable. The pool was only 3ft deep. Shouldnt even be considered a pool in my opinion. The water was gross. The hot tub was a nice temp. The breakfast was good, plenty of choices.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with my recent stay at your hotel. Unfortunately, my experience was far below expectations and has raised serious concerns regarding the quality of service and hospitality provided. Here are the main issues I encountered: • The swimming pool was extremely dirty and appeared unsafe for use. • There was no food provided at all, despite it being part of the advertised service. • The rooms were dirty and poorly maintained. • The shower was broken and unusable. • Many essential amenities were missing from the room. • Most concerning of all, the behavior of the staff, especially the lady at the reception, was rude and unprofessional. Despite raising my concerns with the supervisor, no resolution was offered. I have stayed at many hotels across various states, but this experience stands out as one of the worst. I feel that I did not receive the service I paid for, and I am extremely disappointed. I request a full explanation and appropriate compensation for this poor experience. I am also considering sharing this review publicly so that others can be warned. I hope to hear from you soon regarding this matter. Sincerely, Mohammed Larhzal

I really liked the staff, very welcoming. It was my daughter’s 6th birthday and we were there just to spend quality time and enjoy the pool. The staff said happy birthday to her and also gave her some cookies. I really appreciated that, we don’t have that much friends and family so i appreciated that the most. Thanks again
