DO NOT STAY HERE. Only thing good about this place is that I didn’t see bugs. The white guy Todd at the desk is extremely rude. The pool looks like a disgusting, outdated YMCA. The tv guide doesn’t work…hard to see the channels, no streaming available (not even Netflix). No outlet by the bed, etc. Gym was also closed for construction. Not worth $200 a night, maybe $50.

Very nice hotel and stay

Really nice hotel. Renovations were going on and you are told upfront but it's not bad. The rooms is very nice and comfortable. The door going into the shower is interesting. It opens into the shower under the shower head so when you turn on the shower it is a shot of cold water. The guide for the tv is obnoxious. It's difficult to use. The pool is fantastic! It's a mini pool park with waterfalls, a lap pool and small lazy river. Very comfortable. The breakfast area is nice. There is also an outside courtyard when it is nice. The food is okay but there are quite a few options. We had bacon and it is very thin. Wasn't too filling. Coffee isn't bad but is watery.

Great spot for people with littles!

Clean room- although it could use some updating but just happy it was clean! Staff was amazing upon check in and out. Pool area was wonderful especially with littles! My only complaint was the pool had too much chemicals in it i think? It made our eyes burnt maybe we are just sensitive!! Overall a great stay and we will be back.
