Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Evening check in staff was very cordial. Room had a clean smell when entering. Room window severely cracked with hole in glass? Breakfast was poor quality, dining area was not clean or tables sanitized after use. Room furnishings were dusty. No room service (no cleaning/pick up used towels wash cloths & replace during 2 day stay). Very noisy with several sports teams present. Fire alarm set off during 1st night-child prank. Did not use hot tub or pool. Convenient location. Landscape poorly maintained.
