Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Never again!! We requested fist floor at time of reservation as we are both handicapped. Jessica was extremely rude at check in, apparently because we used Expedia. There were only a a few cars at the entire property. She told us that it was completely full and gave us the absolute furthest room in the entire hotel. Room was not very clean, electrical sockets didn’t work, bed was the worst…don’t recommend

Room was Ok. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Furniture was worn. Shower Curtain rod was not working well but plenty of hot water and shower head had plenty of pressure. Burnt out bulb in bathroom. Towels replaced most days but bed not made. Breakfast was nothing special. Same everyday. No orange juice. Items that ran out were not replaced in timely manner making choices even more limited.
