Check in at the desk

The hotel was overall great, the staff were polite, and efficient. The room was clean. A good hot tub/swimming pool. I would definitely recommend. The only thing I would insist on making sure all guests are made aware of, is how to turn on the shower. The faucet switch from bath to shower was unlike any I had experienced, and having already undressed, a bath seemed my only option.

Taking a shower, the water had little pressure and would get super hot then cold. We were checked into a room with people in it still. Had to go back down stairs and get another room.

The room that we were put in was dirty, the floors had not been vacuumed or dusted in awhile. The a/c did not work properly, it went out at 2 am. The toilet was clogged. We asked to be moved, the staff was nice about it. We changed rooms in the afternoon, the staff member that helped us then was rude about it. I would not recommend!
