Liked: Cleanliness
The checkin was not great. I had to wait at the desk for over 5 minutes before the person showed up. She was sullen and not the least friendly. When we came back from dinner a little after 9pm, the parking lot was completely dark. Again, there was nobody at the desk to advise of this safety issue. As 2 single senior l women, I felt very unsafe.

I like the comfort of the room and the free breakfast. Had a view of the pool which was dirty and uninviting. No one went near it while I was there (probably too cold also). Also, room was never cleaned while we were there.

Aside for the cleanliness and convenience, the defining feature for my decision to book this property was how respectful and caring the staff was in the phone. Once I arrived, this was confirmed by how afable and helpful everyone in staff was. I noticed my fridge was not working and a new one was installed immediately! That’s what I call five star service.

Room in the lobby

They put us in a room that was actually across from the kitchen and pretty much in the lobby/breakfast area!! Heard them cooking every morning at 5:30 and all the guest eating at 7!!! This should not be a guest room!!!

Pleasantly surprised

I was concerned at first because the hallways smelled like air freshener. But when I got in the room, it smelled so clean. I was surprised. The staff was so nice. The food was…. decent (it’s a hotel). It was in great proximity of everything I wanted to do. I would recommend this place.
