I'm giving 3 stars because the pool was "closed for maintenance" for the extent of our stay. This was a big disappointment since we had chosen this hotel in part because of the pool. The kids were very disappointed. The room itself was large and updated but there was no functional fan in the bathroom and there was mold marks on the ceiling. On the other hand, they were very accommodating as we had to extend our stay for one night and we were able to do so without any issue. Overall it was clean, the staff was nice, and there was good variety of food for breakfast.

Overall the property and room were fine but after 8 hours in the car with a 9 and 6 year old sooooo disappointed the pool had been closed for several days and we were never warned. We chose it specifically so the kids could swim. Never offered any compensation nor real apology. Warned the front desk they would get a bad review from me, I was disgusted at the false advertising.

There were literally people having sex all night in the rooms really loudly. It sound like their were parties being hosted in the hall ways. It was a frat house and I had two children with me. I asked the staff to help. They tried to quiet them down but it was terrible all weekend. It was awful. I will never stay there again.

We were staying in the area for my son’s bootcamp graduation. This hotel was under 10 min away from base. A lot of stores and restaurants nearby. The a/c wasn’t on/working in the hallways. In the room it wouldn’t get any colder than 73 degrees so I’m not sure if they were having issues with their cooling system? Pool was just okay. Staying now in a rated 7 hotel and I feel it’s better than our stay at the holiday in.
