Our room smells like pee and we didn’t know where it was coming from than my husband had turned off the AC but we got hot so he turned it back and and the whole room smelled like pee, we believe someone pee in the AC unit and that’s why it smells so badly, the breakfast was excellent exactly for a hotel, the inside was very nice and clean overall a nice hotel oh and our girls went swimming which was nice to do the pool was a good size, we got to our room and the blow dryer didn’t work so we had to air dry our hair, no one was at the front desk we called a few times to complain about the blow dryer not working, and to tell them our room smelled like pee no one picked so we had to sleep in a smelling peeing room.

Will not return to this hotel

I booked this hotel because they have a pool, but the heater was not working and the water was so cold that nobody could comfortably use it. The shower in our room broke twice during our stay so we ended up taking 'sponge baths'. Breakfast was OK. Room could be more clean. Staff were helpful, but this hotel had too many problems to overlook.
