We got to the hotel at 2:20pm and told check in is at 3 pm. Left and came back after 3 pm to be told there is no air conditioning in the room. We went to the room and in front of the elevator there was construction debris. Asked for a fan and they were less than happy to help. Over all not a great experience.

Better than most reviews

The hotel met our needs for the night. They let us know the air conditioning was not working but let us check out the room (it had a window) and gave us fan. Our room was semi cool, the flooring was done in our room, and everything was relatively clean. The kids loved the water slide and pool (spent hours in there) and the restaurant is always good (chicken strips and California salad is a MUST). At check out we spoke to the manager and they gave us $30 off (we asked about that due to the fact that air conditioning didn’t work). Overall it met our needs and it wasn’t as terrible as many other reviews I read.

AC was not working and rooms were too hot. People loitering at the entrance and air filled with smoke. Drug paraphernalia in the parking lot. Desk clerk was super nice and helpful. That was the only upside. We chose to spend the night at another hotel.

Air conditioner in entire building not working. Room was hot. No effort was made to compensate for this issue. Not even free water. Drink machines were empty. Water at the restaurant was $4.50 PER 500 ML BOTTLE. the indigenous individual that was in the room beside us did not respect the quite hour rules, nor were they enforced. There was constant door slamming and load knocking throughout the night keeping my entire family awake all night. I made a complaint to the front desk, and they just shrugged it off. Did not care. Easily the worst hotel i have ever stayed in.

Room’s carpet was visibly dirty and in areas it was patchy wet. The room smelled of cigarettes and was musty, there was no air flow or air conditioning. The staff were friendly. This hotel is in dire need of inspection, my asthma has flared with this stay. Our Kids did not feel safe leaving early in the morning due to large number of intoxicated people out front doors. We left this place as fast as we could, and will never be back. Wish I could have canceled room and got reimbursed. Do not trust expedia reviews, look elsewhere, they were night and day.

Terrible Experience, Unhelpful Management

Booked this hotel twice, first stay was okay (other than the pool being closed) but the second was atrocious and completely unacceptable on multiple fronts. First of all, the air conditioning system for the entire hotel was broken, during a June heatwave. Secondly, the bathroom door handle broke upon closing the door (we did not even touch the door lock or anything), locking my family member inside. Maintenance took twenty minutes to get the door open, and when we reported this to the front desk, we were informed that this had happened before, and an incident report would not be filed (merely noted down in the shift log). When we asked to speak to a manager, we were told that all three managers were away right now, and would not be returning until more than a week later. They gave us three business cards and told us we would have to contact the managers ourselves, after they returned to work, if we wished to pursue the issue further. This was a terrible experience, and one I hope is not shared by others in the future.

Property was clean and felt safe. Excellent restaurant on site. Pool area looked nice but we didnt use it. Room was dated and could use an upgrade. Bed was too soft for us and the pillows were thick and uncomfortable. Our neighbor had a very loud visitor at 10 and again at 3 in the morning. Walls seemed thin as the TV kept us awake in the early morning hours.

The room & property was good, except the A/C was not working in our room. The 1st day was OK, since the temperature was only 20C. The next day was 32C, and with no A/C in room was very uncomfortable. NOT HAPPY.
