We booked a room with a hot tub and upon entering the room, I was disappointed by the uncleanliness of our room. Although it was spacious for a family of four, we will not be returning for numerous reasons. The hot tub looked dirty but turned out to be poorly maintained throughout its existence. You would think the tub was dirty at first glance but when you get closer the paint was chipping, the metal buttons were falling off and looked like no one stepped foot in it in years. The pull out sofa bed was extremely hard, good thing we didn’t have to use it! The tile floors in the bathroom looked like someone rushed and slapped on fake tiles just to make it presentable. The door to the bedroom did not close all the way because the doors we unaligned. After inspecting and walking through the room, all I can say is ghetto.

Terrible property. Stay away! All rooms circle the pool, and have no sound proofing. Wow it’s loud! The guy on the desk wouldn’t let me check out. He spoke to me and an Expedia representative in a way I wouldn’t even speak to an animal. How he is employed I have no idea! Manager did try to apologies and did allow me to check out the next day but this should never be allowed to happen in the first place. Family members recommended this place after staying in it once before, but after they heard the way he spoke to me they said they would also never return. There is a much better hotel at same price just down the road. Homewood Suites. Would highly recommend there, especially as it’s the same price!

Would have been a 4 but at 7:30 we had a house cleaner knock then walk in within seconds, then another 2 times before we checked out, could have been undressed. Check out is 11 unless told that we checked out there should have been no reason to enter our room, could have been in shower or eating. And floor wasnt 100% clean found food from previous guests on floor

The rooms are comfortable to Queens and a couch that turns into a bed, but there’s a pocket door that you can close in between so it almost makes it like it’s two bedrooms, which is very nice when you have people that are sleeping in one part of the area
