The bed was comfortable. It was VERY humid outside, but the AC didn't really eliminate the humidity in the room. It felt cool AND humid inside, which wasn't very comfortable.

We stayed for 4 nights while my daughter was participating in a national competition. I booked this hotel without much research, but I’m so glad I did — it turned out to be the perfect choice. The staff were incredibly friendly, and there are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The pool was excellent, and we enjoyed it every single day.

Very unfriendly front desk staff. They are not dog friendly. Very up tight rules. Noisy and couldn’t sleep. Concern over dogs, but ok with kids running and screaming up the hallways. Adults in common area allows to be very loud and drinking too much. Never will stay here again
