It was beautiful, but rooms on first floor smelled really moldy. Otherwise clean. Yes, I asked for some type of Febreze or something and they never did it. Very shortstaffed in the restaurants, but they handled it well when people were upset. I would stay again because of location and cost. But I will beg for another floor

Staff was very friendly! They were in the process of updating the televisions in the hotel so we unfortunately did not have a working one while we stayed the night. The staff did try and fix it , very promptly. The hot tub was also in the process of getting the jets fixed and weren't working. We still went in the tub but it didn't have the jets. I'm sure this was just a moment in time that we happened to hit at the wrong time. Otherwise, very pleased.
