The air conditioner in the room did not work, it was very warm most of the night, I told the front desk agent about it, he sent a note to maintenance, was not able to move me to another room, they were sold out of clean rooms, I could hear a dog barking in the room next door all night.

I was here to run a conference. The best thing about this place is the remarkable level of customer service and amazing employees--the finest I've ever encountered. Otherwise, everything is broken, closed, stained, or missing. Shame on the owners for letting the facility degrade to this degree.

The room smelled very strongly of bleach and chemicals that it triggered my asthma. I had to open the window and door to try to air it out. The smell was coming from the bathroom area. The carpets in the room had debris (food crumbs) on them and there were areas of the carpet coming off. The halls also have carpet coming off. Definitely needs a renovation. Not coming back.

The bad: When we arrived, there was no running water. We were not informed of this ahead of time . We were not informed at check-in either. The key to one of our rooms only worked half the time. The pool had some clumps of what looked like hair at the bottom. The gym was out of order. The desk chair in one of the rooms was in bad shape and too uncomfortable to use. Breakfast was very limited to mostly carbs and fats. Only protein was hardboiled eggs and yogurt. The staff was cordial but inhelpful with all the problems. The good: very comfortable beds.

Many of the problems we encountered are likely due to understaffing. There was no housekeeping service. They ran out of towels when I asked at the desk. Breakfast, no matter what time we went over 4 days, was routinely out of milk, yogurt, coffee, eggs, bread. Additionally, the pool and hot tub were cold, the exercise room was closed, and the key cards became demagnetized at the drop of a hat, necessitating a trip to the front desk more than 50% of the times we tried to get into the room. These issues were also found by my friends in 3 other rooms during the same time period. On the plus side, the room seemed clean, the bed was comfy, the frig and a/c worked, and parking was adequate.

Beds were decent and the room was pretty clean. There was an unpleasant odor for both days we spent there. Musty? Moldy? The breakfast offerings were minimal: dry cereal, waffles, toast. I hoped for fresh fruit and yogurt and was disappointed.
