Staff was great , plumbing for toilet and shower not draining too well, Stayed for a night, although they were going through renovations, they should have the lobby with proper air conditioning it was not cooling at all, and the temperature in the fridge was not cooling at all the yogurt,milk and creamers for breakfast definitely should be more on the colder side since it’s dairy . I stayed here a few years ago and it was a similar experience. Thought by now that would have been taken care of .

Hotel is a bit dated, but it's clean and convenient. The A/C in my room was rattly so that was sort of annoying at night. Breakfast was good. I love the 24 hour complimentary coffee, tea, juice, and water. The pool was super cold but it was clean. The pool furniture is in sad shape though.

The staff was excellent!! The room was awesome! We prefer first floor and that’s where we were. We used the fitness room, it was good. The pool was dirty. No hot tub, disappointed. After our 18 hr drive, I needed it. Stop using powdered eggs. Gross! Could have a better fruit selection and there wasn’t chocolate milk, sad.
