We picked this hotel for the pool/ swim area. When we got there we were told the pool was closed due to maintenance. For the next 3 months. We were not told this when we booked, they were not caring when we checked in; when we said that's why we wanted to stay here. VERY UPSET. We have stayed here in the past and had no issues. But this time. Very disappointing.

The room was great. Our neighbors were smoking weed the day we left so unfortunately everything stunk. The breakfast was an added plus. Not much, but just enough. The pool was questionable but it’ll be closed for a while for maintenance. This place has a lot of potential.
