I liked that it was close to my destination. I didn't like that pool was unavailable due 5o broken pump. The weather her is very hot and the pool would have made a big difference

Please read this!

As far as the hotel itself. It was very nice and clean. When I first arrived the young lady at the front desk that evening was nowhere to be found for almost 15 minutes. I had to call the front desk from my cell phone to get her to come up to the front. The room I filled out for online was not the same room either. It was suppose to be a suite but it was not. The people at the front desk are not very knowledgeable either with some of the questions I had. Just something management needs to work on. Would I stay here again. If they would compensate me for my last stay and give me a free night maybe.

Okay… wouldn’t stay again

Hotel was okay…. Took longer than normal to get checked in. They advertised an indoor pool but it was empty with no water and looked to be used as a storage area. The breakfast buffet was ehh, food tasted a day or two old. The bathrooms were half cleaned with hair on the toilet and dirt under the bathroom vanity area. All in all a 3 Star!
