Best value

Best deal for the price in the area. The only downside is that second floor rooms have no elevator access so if climbing stairs with your luggage might be a challenge, make sure to ask fir a ground floor room.

If you like Ants everywhere!

I’ve stayed at a variety of hotels in my life and this I thought would be a great romantic night on our anniversary to stay. The room was not what I thought I was getting the picture had an out door chair set. Next the pool and hot tub were not the cleanest. And then after after an okay night sleep did wake up when the wall decors that was duct taped apparently fell off we woke to ANTS! In the bathroom on the counter on the floor on our luggage. Everywhere. We didn’t have anything then normal garbage to account for an ant farm. I packed up and left! When I told the front desk they said oh yea everyone is saying that. And don’t expect a continental breakfast. There is none. If I could get my money back that be great but alas it was a right stay for what was to be a romantic night

Did not like staff entering room for a few minutes when we were out and putting on the Make Up Room sign. Did not like the very skimpy continental breakfast. Room a comfortable size, bed ok. Not worth price.
