My family stayed one night at this hotel because of location and it had an indoor pool. The staff were very friendly upon our arrival. However, the pool was fairly small. It was too crowded and very limited seats. We ended up not being able to swim. There were pieces of hair on the sheets. The top blanket was rough and very thin. Also, the bathroom floor looked dirty. I did like how the room came with a keurig machine and the dove dispensers.
