the location and staff were awesome, the property appears to be at a point that they should start "rebuilding" not remodeling. starting from the rooms one building at a time should be leveled an rebuilt from the pipes up. id love to see it with a complete makeover in 5-6 years. Love the chain hope it continues.

The pool wasn't working. They should at least notify the future guests before their stay or offer a discount. We were hoping to spend some quality time in the pool because of the weather, but we had to go to other resorts and spend extra money to enjoy one. The hotel is nice, but the rooms need maintenance.
