Overall, great stay. I will say, the LED property lights should be pointed down instead of directly into rooms. Hot tub was very nice. There is covered parking for an additional fee. Also, housekeeping shares the elevator with guests and that was a little inconvenient.

Just OK

Hotel was ok. I booked 2 queens and was given a queen with 2 bunks because I asked for a quiet room. I guess that's all they had on the quiet side. Room service was not consistent. They did not make the bunk bed but gave us folded sheets and blankets to spread on our own. They forgot to give us soap and towels for 2 days. Soap and shampoo is subpar and smells terrible. The make up remover towlette smells aweful. Bring your own. No lotion either. Toilet was slow to flush. Food was alright with plenty of options. Parking was NOT free. Had to park on the street.
