Overall stay was nice , service was good, staff was nice. Amenities was as described . Hot tub indoor pool was best part. Upgraded us due to being out of rooms at check in but we had reservation so that was a plus. But we did order food while we went to pool and hot tub was relaxing in hot tub for about 1 hour 40 mins came back to room and experience small roaches all over our pizza and Wetzle pretzel pizza from pizza of my heart 80$ down the drain. Nice stay but won’t do it again. Let front desk know we’ll see what happens besides getting our deposit back which that’s ours anyway.

We were there for two days and the room wasn’t serviced in any way. The check-in was by kiosk, although occasionally there was a human at the desk. We tried to get coffee for the second day and there was no one there.

Ghetto, loud, not enough parking, feels unsafe, room was clean, tv worked well, when most ppl left in the morning it was way better and the guy at the front desk let us stay until 3pm for $50, so we went to the indoor pool which was very clean and we enjoyed ourselves. But the nightlife at yhis place is wild. Lots of police, like 10 cop cars pulled up when we were checking in with thr virtual guy.

The room served its purpose. Beds, tv with Netflix & YouTube. These beds are really firm, it felt like I was laying on a thin foam pad on hardwood floor.
