There was no hot water during our stay. The tv channels were limited to none and the ones that were there did not want to work. The cable service was terrible. The only thing that made our stay enjoyable was the staff, pool and hot tub. I won’t be staying again

The property is ok ,but the fact you have to pay 15 for a buffet. And its regular hotel food is crazy. The pictures make it seem like it’s a top buffet. But it’s food that at another hotel is given complementary. Shower water pressure is low needs to be turned up. Other then that the hotel staff a great.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, which I really appreciated. However, I did find multiple roaches in my room, which was quite unsettling. I hope the management can address this issue to improve the overall cleanliness. Despite this, the staff's friendliness was a definite plus.
