Ihe facility overall was excellent. The pool was to be the highlight of our stay however the pool was cloudy and greyish the first 2 days with dead bugs in filter. On our last day, Saturday it was much better and the water was clear. I did let the desk know Friday that the pool was an issue for us. We asked for towels and and coffee twice on Sat. Ended up going to desk for them myself. They came for trash and gave us toilet paper after we asked on Friday. No used towel pick up or garbage, sweeping etc the rest of our 3 night stay. The Members club staff were excellent, as was the gentleman who helped with TV. Desk people were welcoming when we checked in. I felt bad not leaving a tip for housekeeping, as I think they were short staffed. Once housekeeping said they would return but never did on Saturday.

Nice property. Room was clean. Only issue I had was at check-in. They couldn't find my reservation and in the end was told that their system was older and sometimes had trouble with reservations made through outside sources (Expedia in my case). The staff was helpful in rectifying the situation, only after my insistence that they fix the issue, not me.

I have stayed at this property several times before. Nowadays, there is no daily maid service. Understandable. However, that means you have to request towels when needed. I did not get that request honored. Also, there was no dresser to store clothes. I don't like living out of a bag or suitcase. The hotel and room were clean and comfortable.

Stayed 1 night. Room was clean and comfortable but the shampoo and body wash were empty in the shower and didn’t discover that until in the shower so a little aggravating on top of no hair dryer in the room which was also inconvenient to discover. Did report to the front desk, they apologized and said they were short hair dryers for every room but they were on order.
