Love this new hotel!!!!!!

wouldnt stay here

I wouldnt stay here. The room was not clean. Housekeeping came the next day and still didnt clean or vacuum. Then they charge a $20 PER DAY fee to use their pool and cars even though you dont use them. Power went out for hours and not a single person even acknowledged it. View is awesome. Potential here, but disappointing stay
