The hotel has went down since the last time we stayed. Our room had ants in it, plus the dripping of the faucet/sink was driving us crazy. I was not please with this stay at all. The only good part was the facility man came and brought us a microwave.

Breakfast was quite a large array of options. The staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel was very clean and the keycards, made it feel very safe. The pool area was clean, and the order to poolside was very convenient. The bar in the hotel, was clean, the bartender was very nice and suggested some amazing drinks. The maple bourbon smash was incredible. The noise machine and black out curtains made sleeping a dream! The only complaint, is in the rooms the vents were quite dirty, but everything else was cleaned to our standard! :)
