Nice new hotel, so it was clean and put together nicely. Good vibe. Food… so so. The biggest downside is the pool, all the college kids walk in off the street and take all the chairs. They lay out all over the pavement too, so needless to say it was crowded, it looked like sorority house, and as a paying customer I wouldn’t waste my money for that reason alone, it takes away from the experience. They should really have someone monitoring that area.
