Hotel was clean and the front desk/housekeeping staff is great. Very disappointed that the pool was empty 2 of the 3 days we were there so my grandson did not get to swim until the morning we left. 2 mornings out of 3 they ran out of almost all breakfast items by 8:15a. No bacon any of the days and I don’t eat sausage. Kitchen staff was frazzled and snippy.

Good place to stay when traveling through

This was a very nice hotel. Large king size bed room, clean, quiet (except for the little league staying there), excellent breakfast. The young man at the front desk was pretty defensive and had a bit of an attitude with me. He couldn't find my reservation and instead of trying to find a solution to help me he just kept spinning it back on me and how I probably made the mistake: saying maybe you have the wrong date -- maybe you got the wrong hotel -- maybe you used a different name (I was traveling alone). Come on. I stayed in over 15 hotels in the past year. He said I should reach out and call Hotels.com. I was in the middle of doing that when he found my reservation. He kind of sort of mumbled a half-assed apology. Pool was supposed to be open after repairs at 1pm the day I arrived according to a handwritten note but by 5pm the pool was not open and the sign had not been updated.

Thaw staff was excellent, one of the main reasons I stayed at Tia hotel was the pool the first night was good the second day was horrible I was leaving back to Florida the next day so my son and autistic grandson was on their way when we found out by looking in the pool window all the water was drained out no notice tell that to your autistic grandson I was devastated ended up calling my son who was also disappointed and he turned around we had just gotten food for all of to eat so by the time I gathered everything up and got to my sons house it was cold!!! We should have received an email or something I would have made other plans for that night very upset about that!!!!! Won’t go back there ever again!!!!
