Carpet wet, poor experience from there

Very poor. Carpet was soaking wet in room. No other room available. When asked about refund, repeated said that they couldn’t do anything because this was booked as third party, even though I chose pay at hotel. After multiple conversations and managers, finally comped the room.

Friendly fun and clean

When I first walked in to the time I left, the staff was great, friendly and efficient. The interaction with my grandchild every time made her feel special. Every thing was clean and easy to use. The pool is a little old, but we had a blast in there. The staff even turned music on , once they saw we were in there. We did not participate in breakfast due to our daily plans, but it smelt good and the other guests seemed to enjoy it.

Milisa Colford went above and beyond in checking us in due to me making an error on my check in date. She was very helpful by calling Orbitz to correct the error and getting us into a room with my elderly father suffering from dementia and was having a sundowners moment. We really appreciate her compassion and her dedication to customer service. The room was clean and very nice.
