The room was musty and the ceiling tiles were stained. It just felt dirty. Beds were comfortable. The 8.0 rating is deceiving, in my opinion. Or pwooe stayed in a different part of the hotel that is better.

Would not book here again

The room wasn’t fancy, it was ok. First Hotels.com didn’t tell us there was a $25 fee for our beagle. When we got in the room, the odor was so foul that I would’ve chosen a different one, but we were told it was the last “pet” room. It was nauseating. I cleaned the filthy a/c filter so we didn’t have to breathe whatever was coming from the a/c. The highlight was the lady who checked us in. She was polite and as helpful as she could be.

For a jacuzzi suite condition was not nice. Paint on bathroom floor, car scent hanger was on ceiling in bathroom, room was cold from time of arrival until almost 3 am. Window leaks air when closed. Could be a nice room if those things repaired.
