The hotel was ok, but my son and I have severe allergies to fragrance and the facility sprays fragrance in their lobby and elevator. We asked them to stop the spray while we were at the hotel, but they were unable to change this. Having fragrance sprayed on all of our luggage when we used the elevator to get to our room, created challenges throughout our stay as our belongings all had fragrance on them. The hotel is reasonable if you don't have a fragrance allergy. I would avoid it if you are sensitive to fragrance.

The room is adequate, but nothing out of the ordinary. Fairly clean, but in need of some updates. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, glasses, utensils, etc… The breakfast was better than when we stayed a year ago, more options. I reserved a King room but we were placed in a Double.

Overall it was a nice hotel, the cleanliness and spaciousness of the room was nice, however the pool was unbearable and that's really what my kids wanted to enjoy. The pool area was overwhelming with chlorine to the point the kids were choking and eyes were burning. Literally had to make them get out for the sake of their health. Hotel advertises 90 degree temp in the poor area but it was freezing and the ceiling was dripping all over (very unsanitary). Would not stay here again due to this experience.

Big room for the $

We stayed in the 2 queen suite. It’s the best dollar per square footage around, 600 vs 350. Had separate bedroom and living room with a kitchenette. Quiet room and quiet halls. Breakfast was good. They had breakfast taco items.
