The hotel is very nice and the room was very spacious and well set up. A couple of things that stuck out. Two elevators makes the wait pretty long. Two bartenders/food order staff is pretty thin on a Saturday night. Also a little more information on the parking situation there would have been helpful.

This location is allegedly renovating two elevators as part of a two year project, pursuant to staff. There was no notice of this when booking and it was literally the last thing mentioned as we headed to our rooms, as if the elevators were only temporarily down. Be prepared for waits at the elevator in excess of 45 MINUTES and be prepared to be crammed into the elevator to get service that soon. The two remaining overworked elevators were often malfunctioning as well. Additionally, housekeeping entered our room WITHOUT KNOCKING and scared my poor granddaughter to death. They didn't even have the decency to stay and apologize. I have stayed at this location for several years but I am very disappointed. As it stands right now, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

The floors in pool area were extremely dirty, full of hair and were not cleaned when we came back the next day either. I wouldn’t swim or walk without shoes it was so bad. the elevators are a real problem. There are 2 working elevators to the entire property and we had to wait in lines every time we got on one. The elevator would come and would be full so you’d have to keep waiting. Once you’re on an elevator, it stops at nearly each floor while full because so many people are waiting to get on. There were no tables available during breakfasts. I never leave hotel reviews but this experience was not good. The rooms themselves were fine. Will not stay again.

Most staff were very courteous! It was pretty chaotic & busy at check-in, breakfast & happy hour. One set of elevators under construction, wait for elevators was extremely long & we ended up taking a lot of stairs. Pool was also closed on the day we were able to swim, so that was a bummer. May try somewhere else next time…

Room was clean but was expecting two beds not one king and pull out sofa bed. Only 2 elevators were in operation...had to wait in long line or walk up 6 floors. Trash cans overflowing in and around hotel, dining and hallways. Our room was adjacent to working elevators so heard them all night long. Received text message about express check out. Provided email address per text. Never received copy of our bill. Tried calling hotel to request my receipt for stay, phone rings for over 2 minutes then hangs up. This place is horrible
