We stayed there for a weekend there was some bugs in the room, not enough towels,a/c was not that cold,and the romote for the tv was broke. I ask to stay one more night because we had to and they said ok will just add it to the card and we can have the same room. The next day housekeeping was banging on th door saying we have to check in go to the front desk so i did they told me i have to check in online for my res and i thought they did that for me already.

I will definitely stay there again. The only bad thing i have to say is that it was hard to take a shower because the water got extremely hot! There was no cold water at all to turn the water cooler. Other then that its a great hotel to stay at.
