If you book third party, they will not help you with anything with your reservation! The drinks at the bar are terrible, the shower got water all over the floor of the bathroom. Other than that, it was a good stay.

We always like staying here. The beds a comfortable and the staff is very friendly. It’s easy walking to anywhere downtown. We liked the pool and hot tub but wish the hotel would let us use it earlier than 9:00 am and the towels are very thin but otherwise we really like staying there.
